The Trump administration rolled out a $5 billion “Genesis Mission” to inject artificial intelligence into federal research, funding nearly 300 projects from biotechnology to nuclear energy. Michael Kratsios, the president’s top science adviser, pitched the plan to Congress as the centerpiece of a new “golden age of science,” even as the administration has ended or frozen thousands of grants it says don’t meet its priorities. Supporters argue AI will speed discovery and bolster U.S. industry; critics say the agenda narrows America’s scientific enterprise, sidelines social sciences, and omits climate, framing the push chiefly as a bid for economic advantage. The White House’s OSTP did not comment.
