The U.S. has announced a new partnership with Japan on science and artificial intelligence.
Energy Department Under Secretary for Science Darío Gil told reporters Thursday that each country would invest $500 million in the joint venture.
“This is the defining moment for the next era of science,” he said. “We’re linking our brightest minds and the most advanced tools — both in the U.S. and in Japan, and around the world — into a cohesive engine of discovery.”
The announcement comes as part of the administration’s “Genesis Mission”, which seeks to advance the use of AI for scientific research.
