The White House says the United States led sixteen other countries at a Kyoto forum in endorsing something called the Kyoto Vision for a Golden Age of Science, a joint declaration about renewing science ecosystems and ushering in prosperity. OSTP Director Michael Kratsios is credited with leading the effort, which centers on what the release calls super intelligence for science enabling autonomous experimentation at scale.

The release quotes Kratsios calling super intelligence applied to science the greatest force in history for democratizing research, a claim offered without evidence, measurement, or any apparent awareness that it has been made before about other technologies. The document also points back to a July 2026 Kratsios report delivered to President Trump, described in the release itself as the most comprehensive rethinking of American science policy in eight decades.

The signatory list includes Argentina, Bulgaria, Chile, Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, South Korea, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, the UAE, the UK, and the United States. What the declaration actually commits any government to fund, build, or deliver is not specified in the release.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Seventeen countries signed a paper saying science is good, and the press office wants credit for leading the charge. That's like organizing a parade in favor of sunshine. When the release calls its own report the biggest rethinking in eight decades and can't name one thing anybody agreed to pay for, you can file it where you file the flyers that come stuffed in the screen door.
