Bill 118 s 5620, also known as the "Government Accountability Office Study on IRS Use of Commercial-Off-the-Shelf Products and Artificial Intelligence Technologies Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to mandate the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a study on the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) utilization of commercial-off-the-shelf products and artificial intelligence technologies.
The bill seeks to investigate how the IRS is incorporating commercial-off-the-shelf products, which are pre-made software solutions available for purchase, and artificial intelligence technologies into its operations. The study will assess the effectiveness and efficiency of these technologies in helping the IRS carry out its duties related to tax collection, enforcement, and taxpayer services.
The GAO will be tasked with examining the extent to which the IRS is using commercial-off-the-shelf products and artificial intelligence technologies, as well as evaluating the benefits and challenges associated with their implementation. The study will also analyze the potential impact of these technologies on taxpayer privacy and data security.
Overall, Bill 118 s 5620 aims to provide Congress with valuable insights into how the IRS is leveraging modern technologies to improve its operations and better serve taxpayers. The findings of the GAO study will inform future decision-making and potential reforms within the IRS to enhance its efficiency and effectiveness.
