Technology Directives

Launching the Genesis Mission

This Presidential Action establishes the "Genesis Mission," a major national effort coordinated by the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) and largely implemented by the Secretary of Energy (the DOE), to accelerate scientific discovery using Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The mission focuses on creating the American Science and Security Platform, which will integrate federal scientific datasets and high-performance computing resources to train scientific foundation models, test hypotheses, and automate research workflows across critical national challenges such as clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and biotechnology.

The action mandates coordination across executive agencies, outlines specific timelines for establishing the platform's infrastructure and identifying priority challenges, and encourages strong public-private partnerships under rigorous security and data-sharing protocols.

FOSTERING THE FUTURE FOR AMERICAN CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

This Presidential Action establishes the 'Fostering the Future' initiative, led by the Administration, designed to fundamentally modernize the nation's child welfare system.

The order directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to improve data collection, implement modern technology, and create tools like an annual performance scorecard to enhance child well-being, reduce time in foster care, and accelerate permanent placements.

Furthermore, the order mandates the creation of new educational and employment pathways for youth aging out of the system and addresses policies that may restrict faith-based organizations from participating in federally-funded child welfare programs.

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, 2025

This Presidential Proclamation officially designates October 2025 as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, underscoring the Administration's dedication to strengthening national cybersecurity against foreign and criminal cyber threats.

The document references prior actions, including an Executive Order aimed at securing federal software development and adopting encryption, and highlights support for legislation protecting children online. It concludes by urging all citizens, companies, and institutions to participate in cybersecurity education and take personal protective measures like using strong passwords and multi-factor authentication.

National Manufacturing Day, 2025

This Presidential Proclamation, issued by Donald J. Trump on October 3, 2025, officially designates that date as National Manufacturing Day, celebrating the American industrial base and workforce.

The document outlines the administration's efforts to boost domestic manufacturing through securing significant private investment, imposing reciprocal tariffs to protect against unfair foreign trade practices, eliminating what it terms burdensome regulations (specifically rejecting the 'Green New Scam agenda'), and enacting legislation like the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' to incentivize factory expansion, all aimed at ensuring the U.S. remains the world's leading industrial power.

Unlocking Cures for Pediatric Cancer with Artificial Intelligence

This Presidential Action mandates the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive innovation in preventing and treating pediatric cancer, recognizing it as a top priority for the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission.

The order directs relevant agencies to harness AI to accelerate scientific progress within the existing Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) by improving data infrastructure, enhancing complex biologic data analysis, and optimizing clinical trial design and access.

Furthermore, it instructs coordination to increase federal investment in pediatric cancer research and encourage private sector adoption of advanced AI technologies, all while ensuring patient privacy safeguards are maintained during data sharing efforts.

Saving TikTok While Protecting National Security

This Presidential Action determines that a proposed framework agreement for the divestiture of TikTok's United States operations constitutes a "qualified divestiture" under the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, thereby resolving national security concerns related to foreign adversary control over the application and its user data.

The order grants the Attorney General a 120-day delay on enforcing the Act to allow this structured separation—where a new U.S.-based joint venture with less than 20% ownership by ByteDance would take control—to be finalized, while also revoking a previous related delegation order and amending the 2020 Divestment Order.

Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers

This presidential proclamation restricts the entry of certain H-1B nonimmigrant workers into the United States.

The action addresses concerns about the program's abuse, where it's alleged that companies replace American workers with lower-paid foreign labor.

This is presented as causing harm to American workers' wages and employment prospects and threatening national security.

The proclamation imposes a $100,000 fee on H-1B petitions, with exceptions for cases deemed in the national interest.

Further, it initiates rulemakings to revise prevailing wage levels and prioritize high-skilled, high-paid workers.

Memorandum of Understanding Between the Government of The United States of America and the Government of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Regarding the Technology Prosperity Deal

The US and UK governments signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance cooperation on strategic science and technology.

The MOU focuses on accelerating AI innovation, unleashing civil nuclear energy, securing quantum advantage, and establishing foundations for frontier innovation.

It envisions joint research programs, streamlined regulatory processes, and the establishment of a ministerial-level working group to monitor progress and guide future collaborations.

The agreement emphasizes the importance of shared values and coordinated policy approaches to achieve common objectives.
