A major tax authority just hemorrhaged 25% of its workforce in four months - dropping from 103,000 employees down to roughly 77,000 between January and May. The staffing collapse is dramatic, but here's the plot twist: they're not scrambling to rehire humans.

According to fresh oversight documentation, the agency's solution is algorithmic. They've already woven machine learning into their audit infrastructure and are doubling down on AI to compensate for the personnel exodus.

For anyone in crypto dealing with tax reporting, this shift matters. Automated audit systems don't get tired, don't take breaks, and scale infinitely. The question isn't whether AI will catch reporting discrepancies - it's how sophisticated these models become at pattern recognition across blockchain transactions.
