- IRS plans to use AI to complete its workforce
- The organization dismissed 25% of its staff
- More cuts are likely to follow, report the complaint
The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) plans to use the AI to replace workers who have carried out numerous reductions in its workforce.
US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent discussed the budget proposal in a hearing of the Chamber’s credit committee, with reports confirming that IRS has lost nearly a third of its tax listeners since the start of the second Trump administration – with the Ministry of Elonk of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which reduced the workforce by layoffs and resignations ”.
Bessent argued that discounts and plans offered to push other layoffs would not affect the agency’s tax overlapping capacities thanks to the “BOOM of current AI” – although it has not explained exactly how the agency will deploy the technology.
Slash and burn
The ramifications of staff discounts will not lead to a loss of capacity, despite the majority of dismissed persons, with 31% of the IRS income agent.
“I believe that by smarting it, through this AI boom, that we can use it to improve the collections and I would expect the collections to continue to be very robust as they were this year,” said Besset.
The 25% reduction in IRS workforce could lead to potential delays in tax reimbursements for American taxpayers, but it seems that reductions are likely to continue.
The DOGE department of Musk has also canceled several government contracts in the name of cost reduction, including with IBM, Deloitte and Gartner – to name only a few.
More than half of the British companies that have replaced workers with AI now declare their decision to regret, and there are huge quantities of uncertainty – with 38% of managers who do not fully understand the impact of AI in their business, and 25% uncertain whose roles are most at risk.
Technology giants such as IBM, Crowdsstrike and, more recently, have reduced staff in recent months, many of whom plan to replace these jobs with AI.
