AI in Tax Is Moving Fast. Are We Ignoring the Risks? | Danny Werfel

Kacee JohnsonHOST
Does the accountability and the responsibility fall on the tech company? Does it fall on our firm? And that's creating some friction, I think, between the firms and their solution providers.

Danny WerfelGUEST
Look, the technology is moving so fast and it has such eye-popping results in terms of productivity.

Danny WerfelGUEST
Like, you know, a great example, not in the tax base, but that I hear a lot about from people is they say to me, I don't want the map of Africa thing to happen to me.

Why are those the big four in your view? that are incumbent on an organization to demonstrate that it's achieved?

Danny WerfelGUEST
Well, I didn't want people to walk away and say, so if I list all the relevant risks that for this moment where I'm about to deploy AI in my CPA firm or in my tax authority, then I really just was just a check the box exercise.

Danny WerfelGUEST
By doing that, you're walking through the type of diligence exercise that I think is appropriate to to ensure that you're ready to deploy AI responsibly and as safely as possible given our current environment.

Danny WerfelGUEST
So by building that risk register, you have to be thinking about the scope of the product you're about to deploy.

Danny WerfelGUEST
You have to be thinking about how each risk would either manifest acutely or far less acutely as you're deploying that tool.

Danny WerfelGUEST
So the risk register, it sounds like a paperwork exercise, but the process of doing it right means that you're really triangulating your situation and getting yourself into a higher state of readiness to deploy AI responsibly.

If you're reading this in that office, what could you take from these frameworks that applies to not necessarily a tax mechanism, but to other financial management mechanisms across government, Danny?

You kind of have your board and who you think are your top tier, and then you start also talking to others to see.
