Sandia’s AI for Nuclear Security and Genesis teams recently showcased mission-ready artificial intelligence capabilities at the AI+ Expo 2026 in Washington, D.C., May 7-9, 2026. The event drew 20,000 government officials, academic experts and industry leaders to explore breakthroughs in AI, cybersecurity, robotics, energy and more, highlighting the nation’s commitment to technological advancement.

As part of the DOE’s national lab presence, Sandia demonstrated how trusted AI can speed engineering and decision workflows while protecting sensitive data. The team delivered talks and demos on AI-driven design using natural language prompts, automated computer-aided design and 3D-printing workflows, federated large language models that keep NNSA data secure, and immersive AI that brings function-calling LLMs into virtual reality.

Sandians fielded thoughtful questions that underscore the growing demand for secure, deployable AI solutions that can be integrated into real-world mission workflows.

Sandian’s participation supports the broader Genesis initiative’s mission to accelerate national security outcomes by embedding secure AI into practical tools and workflows. By focusing on enabling faster, safer execution of critical tasks, Sandia is helping turn advanced AI research into impactful capabilities that serve the nation’s security needs.
