The Trump administration on Friday, March 20, issued a legislative framework for a single national policy on artificial intelligence. The goal is to create uniform federal safety and security guardrails and prevent states from enacting their own AI rules. Getting these measures approved and implemented could take several months, if not years. However, there’s one area that needs attention from Congress right now: helping Americans understand the risks in using AI tools when preparing their taxes.
With Tax Day — April 15 — fast approaching, some are encouraging taxpayers to utilize AI for tax preparation. However, even the legal chief for xAi, the company that developed Grok, says, “This/Grok is not tax advice.” The Ways and Means Committee or the full Congress should pass a resolution so that more Americans can become aware of this point, and they should do so soon.
