"IRS Artificial Intelligence Policy Could See Changes Under Trump"

Tax Notes

Robert Kovacev discussed the potential impact of President Trump's recent executive orders on the IRS's use of artificial intelligence (AI). Kovacev noted that one of the Biden administration's biggest shortcomings in implementing AI was a lack of transparency. "We really don't know what the IRS is up to, except in very general terms, and they've been very close-mouthed about the type of artificial intelligence they've been using, about exactly how they're using it in the enforcement context," Kovacev said. He emphasized the need for the Trump administration to improve transparency to ensure fairness and public confidence, especially as the IRS increases its reliance on AI technology.
