Overview
- DOE and the White House science office will create an integrated American Science and Security Platform to centralize computing, models and access to government scientific data.
- Officials describe the effort as the biggest federal science mobilization since Apollo, with OSTP director Michael Kratsios coordinating and Energy Secretary Chris Wright executing.
- Priority domains include biotechnology, critical materials, nuclear fission and fusion, space exploration, quantum information science, and semiconductors and microelectronics.
- The order sets early milestones, including a 90‑day inventory of compute, data and industry partners, and a 270‑day push to apply AI to defined national challenges.
- The administration is courting partners such as Nvidia, Dell, AMD and HPE, while pausing a separate bid to preempt state AI laws as it promises data safeguards and targets lower energy costs and a more efficient grid.
