USA Launch 'Genesis Mission' and GenAI.mil for AI-Driven Civil and Military Governance
The United States announced two AI platforms aimed at restructuring state decision-making: a civilian initiative, 'Genesis Mission', and a military counterpart, 'GenAI.mil'. On November 24, 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order establishing the Genesis Mission under the Department of Energy (DOE), described as a 'Manhattan Project for artificial intelligence'.
This initiative integrates supercomputers and federal scientific datasets to create a unified platform for AI agents. On December 9, the Department of Defense announced GenAI.mil, utilizing Google's Gemini AI for 3 million military personnel globally.
Both systems emphasize rapid deployment and operational efficiency, with AI agents tasked with hypothesis testing and automating workflows. The military's approach mirrors the Genesis framework, prioritizing existential competition and rapid advancements. The architecture of these platforms raises concerns about the erosion of democratic oversight as AI becomes the primary decision-making substrate for governance.
