"Genesis Project"! Trump to sign new AI policy next Monday, likened to the "Manhattan Project" and "Space Race"

```

According to media reports, Trump plans to launch the "Genesis Mission" at the White House next Monday as the core of an executive order aimed at comprehensively enhancing America's artificial intelligence development capabilities. The Trump administration views this initiative as a strategic action on par with the Manhattan Project and the Space Race.

Carl Coe, Chief of Staff of the Department of Energy, stated at the Energy Opportunities Conference in Knoxville, Tennessee on Wednesday that the administration is treating the AI race as a national strategic priority. The executive order could instruct national laboratories to intensify research into emerging AI technologies and promote public-private partnerships.

During a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman this week, Trump announced approval for the sale of advanced AI chips to Saudi Arabia and the promotion of collaborative AI projects with the kingdom.

Trump also called on Congress to pass federal AI regulatory standards, warning that without action, the US could easily be overtaken in the AI race. He advocated for a unified federal approval process to avoid the barriers caused by fragmented state-level regulations.

Department of Energy Leads National AI Strategy

According to officials at the Department of Energy, the "Genesis Mission" will be officially released next Monday in the form of an executive order. Chief of Staff Carl Coe stated at the conference: "We regard the Genesis Mission as being on equal footing with the Manhattan Project and the Space Race."

Coe did not disclose further details but said the order may require national laboratories to do more work in the field of emerging AI technologies and could involve public-private cooperation mechanisms. A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that discussions about a potential executive order remain speculative until a formal announcement.

The plan echoes the AI policy blueprint Trump released in July this year. That blueprint encourages agencies like the Department of Energy to invest in "automated cloud computing laboratories" covering engineering, materials science, chemistry, biology, and neuroscience, and calls for expanding AI research and training at national laboratories.

Promoting Unified Federal Regulatory Standards

At the Saudi Investment Conference on Wednesday, Trump emphasized the implementation of a "one-time approval process" to avoid businesses having to deal with differing regulations across 50 states. He warned that patchwork state regulations would be "a disaster" and could see businesses blocked by "a single activist state."

On Tuesday, Trump used social media to call on lawmakers to pass federal AI regulatory standards, suggesting they be included in the upcoming defense spending bill or advanced as a separate piece of legislation. He said: "If we don’t do this, we will be easily overtaken in the AI race."

According to media reports, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, said earlier this week that GOP leadership is "considering" adding relevant content to the National Defense Authorization Act. The bill sets the budget and spending for the Pentagon and often serves as a vehicle for other policy measures. In July, the Senate blocked inclusion of the measure in the appropriations bill, with opponents saying it could hamper the implementation of child safety and copyright controls for emerging technologies.

Deepening AI Cooperation With Saudi Arabia

This week, Trump held a series of meetings with the Saudi Crown Prince focused on finalizing defense and economic agreements. As part of the deal, Trump announced approval for the sale of advanced AI chips to Saudi Arabia. Nvidia and xAI, Elon Musk’s company, immediately announced plans to develop data centers with Humain, a Saudi-backed AI enterprise.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with Trump on Tuesday and attended a dinner for the Saudi Crown Prince that night. Huang has previously expressed similar views, saying that streamlined regulatory systems allow certain countries to gain a competitive advantage in global AI competition.

Last month, Nvidia announced a partnership with the Department of Energy to expand research in artificial intelligence and quantum computing, including developing seven new supercomputers equipped with Nvidia’s AI chips at federally operated research facilities.

Previously, the comprehensive AI policy blueprint announced by Trump in July was aimed at lowering the barriers for AI companies to develop in the US and facilitating access to key hardware and software for American allies. That blueprint laid the policy foundation for the current "Genesis Mission," emphasizing collaboration between the government, private sector, and national laboratories.
