AI Is Becoming a 'Co-Pilot' for Tax Professionals

Artificial intelligence has been helping companies with their taxes for a while—and now it’s on to the next stage.

Companies have been using AI to automate and speed up the grunt work involved in their tax filings and tax compliance for some time.

With the recent advance into “generative” AI—the type that can generate new content after being "trained" on mountains of data—the technology is being democratized, and put into the hands of tax professionals more broadly. It’s becoming almost like a “co-pilot” that’s helping practitioners do their jobs better, said Rema Serafi, national managing principal for tax at KPMG LLP.

On this week’s episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax senior reporter Michael Rapoport speaks with Serafi on the future of AI and tax, including how AI will let companies tell their tax stories better, help with their tax planning, and navigate the ever-more-complex world of global tax rules.
