NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang reportedly backed the AI mission of Donald Trump’s administration with a $1 billion investment in computing power and pledged to deliver Super Intelligence for ‘America’s scientists.’ On October 8, 2026, the Trump administration announced during the White House’s summit, Science: A New Golden Age, that they would broaden the Genesis Mission to 14 more federal agencies. According to Politico, Huang responded,
“With a $1 billion investment, NVIDIA is putting advanced Super Intelligence in the hands of ‘America’s scientists’ to accelerate breakthroughs in medicine, energy, and materials.”
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) launched the Genesis Mission last year in November through an executive order signed by Trump. The program was created to use artificial intelligence to strengthen scientific research.
The expansion of the Genesis Mission includes $1 billion in computing power from NVIDIA over 5 years and $200 million from OpenAI in token discounts and training programs for scientists. Apart from these two, the program also includes $150 million over 3 years to access Anthropic’s Claude and $50 million in cloud credits from Amazon Web Services.
