WASHINGTON, Nov. 24, 2025 — President Donald Trump signed a sweeping artificial intelligence executive order just past 4 p.m. Monday launching what the White House called the “Genesis Mission” to accelerate scientific discovery through federal AI infrastructure.

The order did not contain language from a Nov. 19 leaked draft that would have directed the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to withhold Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program non-deployment funds from states with AI laws the Commerce Department deemed “onerous.” It also did not deal with federal preemption over state AI laws.

Instead, the executive order signed Monday focused exclusively on establishing a Department of Energy-led national research platform combining federal datasets, laboratory computing systems and robotic experimentation tools.
