NGA taking cautious approach to AI adoption in human resources

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is cautiously integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its HR workflows to modernize processes while ensuring expertise is preserved.
Deputy Director of Human Development, Sasha Muth, expressed concern over potential loss of expertise if too many HR functions are automated, affecting workforce growth and understanding of tradecraft complexities.
The agency is pursuing a five-year plan to improve human capital management through AI, which includes AI governance strategies to prevent bias and maintain validation in decision-making.
NGA’s Director of Human Development, Jay Harless, emphasized a balanced approach to AI use, distinguishing automated, augmented, and purely human tasks within workflows.
The NGA is advancing in AI adoption but remains committed to maintaining certain purely human tasks, especially in final assessments and decision-making.
