Funny that they have to resort to artificial intelligence to accomplish what they should have been doing all along.

It makes a person wonder if the IRS has any real life intelligence... 🤔

Decades of budget cuts by Congress have made it so they just don’t have the staff necessary to untangle the web of financial transactions that the ultra-wealthy use to hide their tax evasion. Using AI allows them to do so despite the perpetual budget cuts.
