NASA faced increasing complexity in managing data, meeting customer needs, and streamlining processes across its diverse missions and operations. With fragmented data sources, manual workflows, and a lack of integrated AI tools, teams struggled to maintain efficiency, consistency, and innovation.

Through a cross-organizational AI-readiness initiative led by the OCIO, NASA engaged stakeholders across Service Lines, Centers, and Mission Support Offices to identify challenges, articulate use cases, and prioritize AI opportunities. Workshops, assessments, and stakeholder collaboration provided a roadmap for integrating AI solutions, enabling secure data usage, and automating repetitive tasks. Focused efforts on training, governance, and iterative implementation ensured alignment with organizational goals.
