- nickpsecurity 11y agoHeck yeah! Matter of fact, I proposed this when the tax shelter boom was happening a long time ago and I said then I doubted it was original. The reason is that scandals like BCCI show the accounting has to be a maze as much as possible. So, logically, the next trick is to have software that automates creating that maze while still able to get the truth out of its for parties with access. And get money to the right place. At the time, I saw malware authors doing it with program obfuscation kits. Accounting information systems were often boring programs following simple rules. The obfuscation of accounting similarly followed straight-forward rules albeit with different rules for different schemes. Automating them should also be straight-forward. And need no AI whatsoever: just templates, heuristics, and maybe source code in Unlambda or INTERCAL. http://www.madore.org/~david/programs/unlambda/ http://www.madore.org/~david/programs/unlambda/
- togusa 11y agoYep. I work in finance and have seen inference engines used to work out investment goals. It doesn't take much to turn those into tax goals :) There is a ton of money in writing something that does this.
