The National Information Society Agency (NIA) announced on September 7 that it has implemented an organizational restructuring.
Previously, NIA has led the execution of national AI policies, focusing on AI data construction, the spread of AI transformation (AX), the realization of inclusive AI, AI policy support, and the establishment of AI infrastructure.
This restructuring aims to strengthen the foundation of AI government stability, enhance AX support functions, and establish a response system for three major AI projects.
To achieve this, the existing AI Government Support Team will be elevated to the AI Government Foundation Headquarters. Additionally, a new 'AI Government Project Team' will be established within the AI Government Headquarters to support the establishment and implementation of national tasks related to the introduction of AI services in the public sector.
The AI Innovation Support Team will be integrated and reorganized under the AI Intelligent Convergence Headquarters, consolidating AX-related functions.
Furthermore, a new 'Agentic AI Innovation Team' will be established under the Intelligent Technology Infrastructure Headquarters to support the creation of an ecosystem where all citizens can utilize AI agents.
To ensure the success of the three major AI projects, the Data Utilization Technology Team will be tasked with functions related to physical AI data. This aims to support the acquisition and utilization of high-quality data, which is a core foundation in the physical AI field.
NIA President Kim Hyung-cheol stated, "This organizational restructuring is intended to swiftly support the core national AI policies. We will do our utmost to ensure that government AI policies lead to tangible results that citizens can feel."
President Kim was appointed as the 16th NIA President in April and will serve until March 2029.
