Marcous outlined ways artificial intelligence is being used to alter processes within the US tax filing system.

Marcous provided details on how April's systems operate and the broader context of an industry that has relied on traditional methods for an extended period. Listeners heard explanations of specific AI applications in document processing, form completion and compliance checks.
The podcast format allowed for an extended exploration of technical and operational aspects of the tax preparation business.
