Georgia Tech Helps Advance Genesis Mission, a National Effort to Transform Scientific Discovery Through AI

Georgia Tech will play a key role in the newly announced Genesis Mission, a national initiative harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to propel scientific discovery and address challenges in health, energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, and national security. The White House announced the first Genesis Mission projects on July 22 as part of a more than $5 billion investment in AI-enabled science and technology.

Georgia Tech was chosen for seven Genesis Mission awards. Faculty will lead two projects and collaborate on five others with research partners across the country.

Assistant Professor Peng Chen (School of Computational Science and Engineering) will collaborate on two projects designed to improve predictions of both water availability and flood risks. He will partner with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Argonne National Laboratory.
