this is still just 'is A > B' cruft. Why add a pile of opaque superfluous - and presumably challengeable and likely biased - AI nonsense to that when you could just go "do your cell/rent/bank/travel records show you in the state for a suspiciously large proportion of the time you claim to be non resident", and then use that very clear, unambiguous, and free of hidden training set bias as the basis for determining whether people are sufficiently present to justify audits or a more deep investigation. AI is just "let's create an opaque statistical model from biased source data" and say Good Luck! The first thing I would do if subject to any AI driven legal action would be to demand that they prove that the system isn't biased against me on the basis of protected characteristics which they could not do, and literally every study has verified that "AI" always exacerbates bias in the training set, because AI is not intelligent, all it is doing is creating a statistical model that reflects the training set.
