"Across a broad swath of applications, but specifically for scientific discovery, I think agentic AI will be transformational. Greater use of these capabilities would help to expand and enhance data collection and transform the types of experiments that can be conducted by researchers."
"A major focus of this administration is having better integration and tie-in across the scientific development piece, all the way through tech development, testing, prototyping and scale up. If we're able to actually deploy these agentic AI agents across those workflows, they're going to see a great amount of scientific efficiency."
The Trump administration views artificial intelligence integration into scientific research as essential for U.S. technological competitiveness. Chief Technology Officer Ethan Klein emphasized the importance of connecting scientific development through technology development, testing, prototyping, and scaling. Agentic AI—autonomous systems executing tasks with minimal human oversight—is expected to transform scientific research by enhancing data collection and enabling new experimental types. A survey found 53% of government technology executives are exploring or piloting agentic AI. Klein highlighted that deploying these systems across research workflows would significantly improve scientific efficiency, which underpins technology development. The administration launched the Genesis Mission in November 2025 to advance AI-driven scientific progress.
