Use of artificial intelligence by tax administrations: An analysis regarding taxpayers’ rights in Latin American countries
Section snippets
Inroduction
Tax administrations have the main function of managing tax compliance to detect and prevent criminal behavior and provide service and education to help taxpayers meet their tax obligations with the least complexity and burden of compliance.1
General aspects of technological systems used by tax administrations
New technologies have led to critical changes in international politics, reducing information collection costs, decreasing market friction and significantly driving the process of world market expansion.7 In
Comparison of taxpayers’ rights in Latin America countries
Taxpayers’ rights have been defined as the obligations or duties that the State must fulfill, through its tax administration office, in terms of tax collection, control and education functions.36 When these rights are
Techniques for characterization of taxpayers’ risk
Techniques that identify patterns of taxpayers' behavior have been key to detecting fraud or tax evasion, also allowing measurements of the risk of compliance with tax obligations. For this purpose, tax administrations have focused on the use of business intelligence, defined as a set of information systems that support decision-making, based on other storage, analysis and data extraction technologies.42
Robotization techniques in tax audit actions
Watson, an AI computer system developed in 2011 by International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), revolutionized the professional practice of management and advice of public and private companies. Watson was the most important technology to arrive in the field of law and allowed professionals to think innovatively.74
Conclusions
Having shown that the AI mechanisms used by some tax administrations have normative implications in social life, it is essential to specify the legal limits of their application in safeguarding taxpayers’ rights, regardless of the way in which these are enshrined in the legal system, and the regulatory level at which their guarantee is found.
Considering this, the characterization techniques used by Latin American tax administrations, such as Chile, Peru, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina and

Digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and bureaucratic transformation
2022, FuturesCitation Excerpt :In areas like tax collection, criminal justice, and public health, sophisticated computerized data processing systems are becoming essential elements in the implementation of public policy and the delivery of public services. For example, advanced computerized data processing has been used in Brazil to control tax evasion (Faúndez-Ugalde et al., 2020: 3), in the United States to provide guidance on whether to hold or release a defendant before a criminal trial is held (Rizer & Watney, 2018), and in Singapore to aid in contact tracing as part of the COVID-19 pandemic response (Goggin, 2020). These automated systems save time, reduce human capital costs, free up personnel to work on other tasks, curb biases and discrimination, and enable the consideration of problems too complex for human analysts.
Trends, impacts, and prospects for implementing artificial intelligence technologies in the energy industry: The implication of open innovation
2021, Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and ComplexityCitation Excerpt :AI creates surplus value for businesses because it helps to use the full potential of available data, makes reliable forecasts, and automates complex tasks. It also enhances productivity by automating business processes and targets that humans previously implemented [18,36,37,38]. Many Russian energy companies are now improving growth rates and productivity with AI solutions [8,39,40].
