The National Information Society Agency (NIA) said on the 7th that it had carried out an organizational restructuring to strengthen its ability to support AI government and AI transformation (AX). As an AI-specialized agency, NIA has contributed to AI data development, AX expansion, inclusive AI implementation, AI policy support, and AI infrastructure building, and this restructuring was carried out on the basis of those existing areas of expertise.
The restructuring aims to improve on-the-ground execution of the national AI policy and also focuses on driving the realization of an 'AI 3 superpower.' To that end, NIA expanded its AI government-related organization and newly established a dedicated agentic AI team.
The core of the reorganization is to strengthen the stability of the AI government infrastructure, reinforce AX support functions, and establish a response system for the three major AI megaprojects. The overhaul is centered on expanding the AI government and AX support framework and building a structure capable of responding to large-scale national AI tasks.
Through this restructuring, NIA aims to strengthen the field execution system for key national AI policies. It is also intended to enhance on-the-ground implementation of the government's AI policy, supported by the expansion of AI government-related organizations and the creation of dedicated teams, while backing efforts to pursue an 'AI 3 superpower.'
The reorganization also aims to strengthen the operational foundation for stable AI government services and support AI adoption in the public sector. Accordingly, the 'AI government infrastructure support unit' was upgraded to the 'AI government infrastructure headquarters,' and based on the cloud, redundancy, and disaster recovery (DR) support work previously handled by the unit, it will move to reinforce the operational foundation. In addition, an 'AI government project team' was newly established under the AI government headquarters to support the proactive introduction of AI services in the public sector and the establishment and implementation of related national tasks.
At the same time, to push for the early realization of the national AI transformation, the 'AI innovation support unit' was integrated and reorganized under the 'AI convergence headquarters.' Through this, NIA aims to bring together AX-related functions in one place and systematically support AI transformation. In addition, an 'agentic AI innovation team' was newly established under the Intelligent Technology Infrastructure Headquarters to provide specialized support for building an agentic AI ecosystem in which everyone can use AI agents.
NIA also laid the groundwork for a preemptive response to the government's three major AI megaprojects. The data utilization technology team was assigned physical AI data-related functions so it can support the securing and use of high-quality data, a core foundation for physical AI. Going forward, the agency plans to continue strengthening related support systems in line with the government's policy implementation progress.
With this restructuring, the National Information Society Agency (NIA) strengthened its organizational system. The areas of reinforcement include the stable operation of AI government, AX expansion, next-generation AI technology, and infrastructure support, as part of measures to back national AI policy on the ground.
NIA President Kim Hyung-cheol said the purpose of the restructuring is to provide swift support for key national AI policies such as AI government and AX. He added that, based on NIA's expertise and execution capabilities, the agency will do its utmost to create results in government AI policy that the public can feel.
