创世纪任务,是一项国家倡议,，旨在建立“世界’最强大的综合科学发现平台”，通过激励跨部门合作，利用AI,超级计算,量子系统,和先进的科学仪器来加速能源,科学发现,和国家安全方面的突破。
The Genesis Mission, a national initiative, intends to build “the world的 most powerful integrated science discovery platform” by incentivizing cross-sector collaborations that leverage AI, supercomputing, quantum systems, and advanced scientific instruments to accelerate breakthroughs in energy, scientific discovery, and national security.
“MIT 研究人员很自豪能够在支持国家优先事项的重要研究领域领导创世使命, 下的项目并为其做出贡献,” , 负责研究的副总裁 Ian A. Waitz,” 说。 “创世纪任务提供了一个绝佳的机会，可以激发大学,工业,和美国国家实验室的力量，以推进科学,技术,和创新，造福国家和世界。”
“MIT researchers are proud to be leading and contributing to projects under the Genesis Mission, in vital areas of research that support national priorities,” says Ian A. Waitz, MIT的 vice president for research. “The Genesis Mission represents a fantastic opportunity to catalyze the power of universities, industry, and the U.S. national laboratories to advance science, technology, and innovation for the benefit of the nation and the world.”
美国能源部周三在华盛顿举行的创世纪峰会上宣布了初步项目。麻省理工学院的研究经费正在等待每个项目的资助协议谈判完成。在第一阶段,资助的项目团队将努力展示将人工智能与科学研究,相结合的研究工作流程，并严格评估其方法的科学价值。
The DOE announced the initial projects during its Genesis Summit in Washington on Wednesday. The research funding to MIT is pending completion of negotiations toward an award agreement for each project. In phase I, funded project teams will work to demonstrate research workflows that integrate AI with scientific investigation, and to rigorously evaluate the scientific merit of their approach.
创世纪任务下的项目在设计上是协作的;团队必须利用来自学术界,工业,和%2国家实验室的研究人员的专业知识。麻省理工学院参与的选定第一阶段项目旨在开发强大的量子传感器，以帮助解释有关宇宙的基本问题; 推进提取稀土元素的无化学方法的知识; 对聚变托卡马克和未来聚变反应堆中的等离子体行为进行建模; 开发聚变磁体系统的数字孪生; 利用生物分子的自组装来设计具有目标特性的材料; 为机械系统; 生成设计旋转叶片; 等。美国能源部可能会考虑为创世纪任务提供进一步的资助，以确定大规模转型能力的有希望途径的第一阶段项目。
Projects under the Genesis Mission are collaborative by design; teams must draw on the expertise of researchers from academia, industry, and/or the national laboratories. Among the selected phase I projects with MIT involvement are those that aim to develop powerful quantum sensors to help explain fundamental questions about the universe; advance knowledge of chemical-free methods to extract rare earth elements; model the behavior of plasma in fusion tokamaks and future fusion reactors; develop digital twins for fusion magnet systems; exploit the self-assembly of biomolecules to design materials with targeted properties; generatively design rotating blades for machinery systems; and more. Phase I projects that identify promising pathways toward transformative capabilities at scale may be considered by DOE for further Genesis Mission funding.

“对创世任务申请过程的非凡反应表明美国的科学界已准备好重新想象如何发现发现,”能源部副部长Darío Gil SM’00博士’03,在DOE的公告中表示。 “通过创世使命,，我们将全国’的领先研究人员,机构,和技术合作伙伴聚集在一起，以建设下一代科学能力。我们期待看到这些团队展示新的研究工作流程，加速发现并揭示人工智能和科学共同进步时的可能性。”
“The extraordinary response to this Genesis Mission application process demonstrates that America的 scientific community is ready to reimagine how discovery happens,” said DOE Under Secretary Darío Gil SM ’00 PhD ’03, in the DOE的 announcement. “Through the Genesis Mission, we are bringing together the nation的 leading researchers, institutions, and technology partners to build the next generation of scientific capability. We look forward to seeing these teams demonstrate new research workflows that accelerate discovery and reveal what is possible when AI and science advance together.”
