IDAHO FALLS – America’s efforts to achieve “global technology dominance in the development of artificial intelligence” continues with a new executive order.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Nov. 24. It’s called Genesis Mission and its goal is to “build an integrated AI platform” to “unleash a new age of AI‑accelerated innovation and discovery.”

Although it’s a national effort, the Idaho National Lab is playing a leading role on the local level. In a conversation with EastIdahoNews.com, Chris Ritter, the INL’s division director of scientific computing in AI, says the initiative focuses on enhancing three areas: energy, national security and science.

“It’s about building an interconnected platform across the entire Department of Energy and other agencies that will accelerate research in these particular areas,” Ritter says.

The INL is one of 17 national labs involved in a collaborative effort to improve AI performance and development. Ritter says that’s what makes Genesis Mission unique. Ritter talks more about it in the video above.
