President Trump on Thursday announced $2.4 billion in computing power commitments from major technology companies, including Nvidia, OpenAI and Anthropic, to support federal agencies’ use of artificial intelligence in scientific research.
The funding will go toward the Genesis Mission, an initiative aimed at using AI to accelerate federal scientific work across 14 agencies covering energy, health and space, according to the Trump administration.
Nvidia is contributing the largest single donation, $1 billion. AMD has pledged $500 million, OpenAI is giving $200 million, and Anthropic and Google have each committed $150 million. AMP and Emerald AI pledged $100 million apiece, while AWS, Armada, Crusoe and Micron are each contributing $50 million, according to a White House press release.
The announcement came during the White House’s “Science: A New Golden Age” summit. The Trump administration first launched the Genesis Mission in November 2025 through the Energy Department.
Pushing a Rebrand
Alongside the funding announcement, Trump continued his push to rename artificial intelligence as “super intelligence,” a term he has promoted in recent weeks to counter pessimistic narratives about the technology.
On Truth Social, Trump wrote: “The White House considers anyone that uses the term, ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, ‘Super Intelligence,’ THE ENEMY!”
Some tech executives appear to be adopting the new terminology. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in a Thursday statement: “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.”
Industry Divide on Pace of Development
The pledges arrive as Trump continues to advocate for wider acceptance of advanced AI development. Leading tech executives, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, have called for global cooperation to slow the pace of development after a researcher warned the technology could pose risks to humanity.
Trump has pushed back against that view, arguing that the greater danger is allowing China to overtake the United States in AI development by slowing progress on the most powerful models at home.
Last week, Trump hosted an AI summit at the White House attended by executives from companies including Amazon, OpenAI and Google, whose combined worth exceeds $1.8 trillion.
