Army promotion boards will employ artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the selection process, officials announced.

AI will assist in narrowing! down candidate pools, but human judgment will remain essential. The Army is leveraging computer analysis, deemed as AI, to review enlisted soldiers' files for promotions, verifying eligibility and basic scores.
Hope Rampy, commanding general of Army Human Resource Command, noted that enlisted evaluation boards must review thousands of records, including those of soldiers who are not competitive for promotion. The Army aims to develop algorithms that can screen for soldiers meeting prerequisites, such as schooling and job history, to avoid wasting time on ineligible candidates.
