July 22 (UPI) -- Microsoft has announced that it is investing $60 million to advance AI for the Department of Energy's Genesis Mission on Wednesday.
The investment will be used to advance AI for scientific research in the Genesis Mission, a program that brings together 17 national laboratories through AI-enabled research and development.
In unison with the investment, Microsoft announced it is launching a new program called "SPARK" which stands for Scientific Partnership Advancing Research and Knowledge. It is described as a management office for the Genesis Mission.
Microsoft says SPARK will help facilitate secure collaboration across the institutions involved in the Genesis Mission.
