The US Army has been quietly working on an initiative to bring its digital infrastructure into the modern era, ditching decades-old systems and planning to save taxpayers about $89 million starting on Oct. 1.
The Army’s tech shop began “aggressively” reevaluating its internal systems in November and drafting plans to consolidate dozens of workflow, case management and other internal tools into a simplified suite of programs.
One of the crown jewels in this undertaking has been the Army’s implementation of a language learning model to finish its routine task of updating position descriptions for 300,000 civilian workers — something that usually takes 30 analysts and four months to complete — in a week, thanks to the AI system.
Now they’re hoping to use similar technology to dramatically streamline the Army’s response time to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and records management requests.
