IRS using AI to make sure people aren't playing the system (2024)

> House Republicans say they have reason to believe the IRS and Department of Justice are monitoring millions of Americans' private transactions, bank accounts and financial information without legal process using an AI-powered system.

It's worth reading the actual letter that is linked. While the IRS themselves have announced in press releases that they are using AI (and/or machine learning), the citation for the concerns seems to be a Project Veritas sting video featuring one guy verbally claiming these things, presumably without knowing he is on the record.

I dunno that it's a particularly high bar as far as sourcing going but anything is possible of course.

Republicans would want to kill this due to it highlighting all the tax dodges that rich people use to game the system. Democrats would want to kill it due to the amount of innocent people likely snared in the dragnet approach creating false positives.

Fast forward to now and imagine the breadth and depth of training data Grok is about to ingest.
