Limits on AI in IRS: No more automatic tax audits

This bill aims to restrict the use of artificial intelligence by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for initiating tax audits and investigations. This means citizens will no longer be automatically selected for audits solely by AI algorithms, and every audit will require approval by a human investigator. The act seeks to increase transparency and protect taxpayer rights.
Key points
End of automatic tax audits: The IRS will not be able to initiate audits or investigations solely based on artificial intelligence analysis.
Human oversight: Every audit or investigation must be initiated and approved by a human investigator, whose contact information will be available.
AI explainability requirement: If AI is used for selection, its operation must be understandable and meet explainability standards.
Audit report: The Comptroller General will conduct an audit of the IRS's use of AI, assessing its impact on taxpayer rights and costs.
