We are at a turning point where the convergence of advanced artificial intelligence and scientific research promises to usher in a new golden age of discovery. With this in mind, we are pleased to support the White House Genesis Mission – a historic national effort to use artificial intelligence to transform the way scientific research is conducted and accelerate the pace of American science. The Genesis mission will mobilize 17 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories, industry and academia to build an integrated discovery platform that accelerates breakthrough solutions to the nation's most pressing challenges, including energy, scientific discovery and national security.
Our mission at Google DeepMind is to responsibly build artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity. There is perhaps no clearer expression of this than the application of artificial intelligence to science. Scientists today face major obstacles of unprecedented scale and complexity – from shaping and simulating the complex dynamics of fusion plasma, to exploring the vast search space for new materials and finding a way to process and understand ever-increasing amounts of data and literature. Modern deep learning methods are uniquely suited to meet these challenges and reduce the time that new discoveries would otherwise require.
To help realize the ambitious vision of the Genesis mission, Google and DOE are working together to support the administration's goal to leverage artificial intelligence and the advanced computing revolution to dramatically increase the productivity and impact of American research and innovation within a decade. We see this as the beginning of a lasting partnership in AI for science that we will develop and expand in the coming months and years.
Putting our advanced AI tools in the hands of American scientists
Google DeepMind will provide scientists at all 17 DOE national laboratories with an accelerated access program to our pioneering AI models for science and agent-based tools, starting today with an AI collaborator on Google Cloud. AI Collaborator is a multi-agent virtual research associate built on the Gemini platform that is trained on Google's world-class TPU processors. The system is intended to help scientists synthesize vast amounts of information to generate new hypotheses and research proposals, and to accelerate the pace of scientific and biomedical discoveries.
The AI collaborator is already showing its potential in various biomedical applications. This novel drug repurposing candidates have been proposed for liver fibrosis, which were confirmed in laboratory experiments and predicted complex antimicrobial resistance mechanisms that matched experiments even before they were published, showing the potential to accelerate hypothesis development from years to days. It shows early promise in additional fields such as physics, chemistry, computer science, and more.
In early 2026, we will expand our accelerated access program for national laboratories to include:
- AlphaEvolve – a Gemini-based coding agent for designing advanced algorithms that shows great promise for application in many areas of computer science and mathematics, and we believe could have breakthroughs in many other areas such as materials science, drug discovery and energy. For example, AlphaEvolve has improved the efficiency of Google's data centers, chip design, and AI training processes, including training the large language models that underpin AlphaEvolve itself.
- AlphaGenome – an artificial intelligence model that aims to help scientists better understand the non-coding part of DNA, accelerating research into the biology of the genome and improving the understanding of diseases. With more data on plant genomes, the AlphaGenome project could potentially be expanded to help improve crop resilience and other applications, including sustainable biofuels and advanced biomaterials.
- WeatherNext – a family of cutting-edge weather forecasting models. Our partnership with the U.S. National Hurricane Center already supports cyclone forecasts and warnings, helping communities prepare earlier for disasters.
DOE and all national laboratories can also access Gemini for governmentthat combines the best of AI-optimized and Google accredited commercial cloud with our industry-leading Gemini models – including our most intelligent model Gemini 3 with cutting-edge reasoning capabilities and multimodal understanding.
We can't wait to see what America's leading researchers will be able to do with our pioneering AI models and agent-based tools.
A history of cooperation for scientific progress
We have seen what is possible when industry-leading technology can be based on the work of national laboratories. DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory's foundational work on the Protein Data Bank was critical to the development of AlphaFold, our artificial intelligence system that can predict the 3D structure of proteins, whose development was recognized by co-awarding Demis Hassabis and John Jumper the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. AlphaFold's protein database is currently used by over three million scientists in over 190 countries to accelerate research into effective malaria vaccines to breakthrough gene therapies.
Looking to the future
Through the Genesis mission, we will strengthen American science leadership by also exploring research collaborations with national laboratories in areas such as fusion energy, new materials discovery, and Earth sciences.
The challenges facing our world – from energy to disease to security – require unprecedented scientific innovation. We believe that by combining human ingenuity with advanced artificial intelligence capabilities, we can help American scientists make discoveries that would have seemed impossible many years ago.
