GDIT's Gilliland: Humans Will Master AI, Not Be Replaced By It

General Dynamics Information Technology president Amy Gilliland is taking an optimistic stance on artificial intelligence adoption, focusing on empowering employees rather than replacing them. Despite skepticism about AI’s return on investment, GDIT is investing heavily in employee training and exploring AI applications for code writing, proposal processing, and internal talent mobility. The company recently opened a Mission Emerge Center near the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency to accelerate technology adoption and demonstrate AI capabilities to government customers, positioning the defense contractor to support faster military technology upgrades.
