The National Information Society Agency (NIA) has reshaped its organizational structure to strengthen its ability to implement the government’s AI policies on the ground. The reorganization took effect on the 7th and aims to support major government AI policies, including AI government, AI transformation (AX), and agentic AI, while improving on-site execution for national AI policy.
The organizational change has taken the agency from 2 divisions, 7 bureaus, 5 departments, and 46 teams to 2 divisions, 8 bureaus, 4 departments, and 48 teams. The reorganization focuses on strengthening stability in the AI government foundation, integrating AX support functions, and establishing a response system for the government’s three major AI mega projects.
Accordingly, the "AI Government Foundation Support Department" has been upgraded to the "AI Government Foundation Bureau." The former "AI Government Foundation Support Department" had been responsible for supporting cloud, redundancy, and disaster recovery (DR) infrastructure.
In addition, a new "AI Government Project Team" has been created within the AI Government Bureau. The team will support the introduction of AI services in the public sector and the formulation and implementation of related national policy tasks, creating a structure that backs public-sector AI adoption and policy execution.
NIA also moved to reorganize its fragmented AX support functions, integrating scattered AX and AI transformation support functions into a unified structure. As a result, the functions of the "AI Innovation Support Department" have been incorporated into the "AI Convergence Bureau," concentrating AI transformation-related functions in a single organization.
NIA also created a dedicated organization to respond to the spread of AI agents. It established the "Agentic AI Innovation Team" under the Intelligent Technology Infrastructure Bureau, and the team will support efforts to build an ecosystem for public use of AI agents.
NIA also strengthened organizational functions linked to the government’s three major AI mega projects. The Data Utilization Technology Team has added functions related to physical AI data, with the aim of supporting the acquisition and use of high-quality data for physical AI development. Going forward, the agency plans to expand related support systems in line with the progress of government projects.
This NIA reorganization plan is focused on strengthening support functions for the operational foundation of AI government, enhancing AX support for the public and industry, strengthening support for agentic AI, and bolstering support for physical AI. Through this, NIA aims to reinforce on-site support functions for national AI policy.
NIA President Kim Hyung-chul said the purpose of the reorganization is to accelerate support for key national AI policies, including AI government and AX. He added that, based on the agency’s accumulated expertise and execution capabilities, NIA will do its utmost to connect government AI policies with outcomes that citizens can directly experience.
