The Diritto.it article explores the increasing role of artificial intelligence in tax audits and financial investigations. AI-powered tools are helping tax authorities detect fraud, analyze financial data, and automate compliance processes. With machine learning algorithms, tax agencies can efficiently identify anomalies, assess risks, and streamline tax audits.

AI’s ability to process vast amounts of financial data in real-time allows authorities to detect patterns of tax evasion more accurately. However, the integration of AI in tax audits also raises legal and ethical concerns, including data privacy, algorithmic bias, and due process rights for taxpayers.

The article highlights European and Italian regulatory developments, emphasizing the need for transparent AI-driven tax systems. Experts suggest that while AI enhances efficiency and reduces tax fraud, it must operate within a legal framework that ensures fairness, accountability, and protection of taxpayer rights.
