The IRS has announced that it will soon be deploying artificial intelligence police bots to enforce the parts of the new U.S. tax code that specifically target MAGA groups and Trump supporters.
In a statement made April 17 at the UiPath on Tour: Public Sector event in Washington, IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel announced the IRS would be utilizing the tools to better assist IRS agents in identifying potential tax cheats.
In 2017, the IRS was forced to express "Its sincere apology" after it was discovered that the agency had targeted conservative organizations, including Linchpins of Liberty-along with 40 other conservative groups-in their applications for tax-exempt status.
"As a result of these criteria, the IRS transferred hundreds of applications to a specifically designated group of IRS agents for additional levels of review, questioning and delay. In many instances, the IRS then requested highly sensitive information from applicants, such as donor information, that was not needed to make a determination of tax-exempt status."
"The IRS's use of these criteria as a basis for heightened scrutiny was wrong and should never have occurred. It is improper for the IRS to single out groups for different treatment based on their names or ideological positions. Any entitlement to tax exemption should be based on the activities of the organization and whether they fulfill requirements of the law, not the policy positions adopted by members or the name chosen to reflect those views."
Despite the abuse of power, in 2022, the Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act rewarded the IRS with a large cash infusion, delivering nearly $80 billion, a portion of which has been earmarked for the creation and implementation of the new technology.
"We don't want to block the IRS from acquiring AI," said Mr. Denton.
