Trump Unveils $6B Science Push With Quantum Computing, AI
The package includes $2.4 billion in AI industry commitments and up to $215 million for a quantum computing competition, officials said.
On Thursday, the White House unveiled more than $6 billion in science and technology initiatives at the Science: A New Golden Age Summit in Washington, targeting American leadership in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and biomedical science.
The Department of Energy launched a $215 million Quantum Genesis Q Competition, while 11 technology companies including Nvidia and AMD pledged $2.4 billion in AI tools and computing credits to support research across 15 federal agencies.
Bio Genesis, a government research mission targeting faster biomedical discovery over five to ten years, includes a $1.8 billion virtual biology initiative from the National Institutes of Health, DOE, and Biohub.
European authorities recently warned that future quantum capabilities could threaten blockchain security; however, the White House clarified that its quantum initiative focuses on scientific research rather than cryptocurrency protection.
Applications for the quantum competition remain open until October 19, 2026, as the White House targets 2028 for a Mars mission involving a nuclear-powered spacecraft and a proposed fission reactor on the Moon.
