We stand at an inflection point where the convergence of advanced AI and scientific research promises to unlock a new golden age of discovery. Recognizing this, we’re pleased to support the White House’s Genesis Mission - a historic national effort to use AI to transform how scientific research is conducted and accelerate the speed of American science. The Genesis Mission will mobilize the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) 17 National Laboratories, industry and academia to build an integrated discovery platform, accelerating breakthroughs across the nation’s most pressing challenges including energy, scientific discovery, and national security.

At Google DeepMind, our mission is to build AI responsibly to benefit humanity. There is perhaps no clearer expression of this than the application of AI within science. Scientists today face significant obstacles of unprecedented scale and complexity — from shaping and simulating the intricate dynamics of fusion plasma, to exploring the vast search space of new materials, and finding a way to process and understand ever-growing volumes of data and literature. Modern deep learning methods are uniquely suited to address these challenges and compress the time new discoveries would otherwise require.

To help realize the ambitious vision in the Genesis Mission, Google and the DOE are partnering to support the Administration's goal of harnessing the AI and advanced computing revolution to dramatically expand the productivity and impact of American research and innovation within a decade. We see this as the beginning of an enduring partnership in AI for Science that we will look to grow and expand in the months and years ahead.

Putting our advanced AI tools into the hands of American scientists

In early 2026, we will expand our accelerated access program for National Laboratories to include:
