At the same time, it carries risks that “cannot be taken out of the system.” Dr. Stephen Daly, reader in tax law at King's College London, describes this dynamic in a conversation with Skadden partners David Farhat and Eric Sensenbrenner, associate Stefane Victor and senior advisor De Lon Harris. The panel explores the best and worst of the impact of AI in the tax world. Tune in for insights about what AI means for taxpayers and tax authorities alike.

Words of wisdom: “To embrace the capabilities of AI, you need to accept that mistakes will be made. So in the case of a chatbot, if a chatbot gets the answer wrong and a taxpayer ends up underpaying their taxes, well then you just leave them off the hook.”
