The Genesis Mission is a landmark national effort to accelerate American scientific discovery by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence. It aims to build an integrated platform, the American Science Cloud, that connects the nation’s vast scientific datasets with world-leading supercomputers and advanced AI tools. Fusion energy is a key priority area for this mission.
ATAP Advanced Modeling Program researchers and a Summer Undergraduate Laboratory Internship mentee (center) discuss inertial fusion energy simulations.
Berkeley Lab is uniquely positioned to advance fusion energy within the Genesis Mission. Home to world-class facilities such as NERSC and the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), and with deep expertise in fusion science and AI, the Lab provides the foundational infrastructure and knowledge essential for success. Lab researchers are contributing to the mission by developing transformative, fusion-specific AI models that can learn from both simulation and experimental data. This work is critical to creating an integrated research infrastructure that links AI systems directly to fusion experiments, enabling autonomous operations and real-time discovery.
By leveraging the Genesis Mission, Berkeley Lab is amplifying its efforts to develop the predictive models, digital twins, and AI-driven tools needed to address key design challenges and deliver clean, abundant fusion energy.
