Genesis Mission: Trump's AI-driven science push sparks scientific backlash

The Trump White House unveiled the Genesis Mission—a $5 billion, AI-focused push to accelerate scientific discovery—alongside a broader ‘New Golden Age’ agenda. Scientists warn the plan treats research like a startup, prioritizes short-term AI goals, risks undercutting open-ended basic science, and shifts funding and oversight toward political appointees and private companies, potentially destabilizing the US science ecosystem.
