GOVERNMENT

🏦IRS Deploys AI Models to Identify Tax Schemes

The IRS is leveraging AI models to enforce fairness safeguards and identify sophisticated schemes to avoid taxes.

Key Details:
  • Prioritization of high-income cases: The IRS will intensify regulating taxpayers with total positive income above $1M with more than $250,000 in recognized tax debt.

  • Expansion of AI models trained to examine large partnerships: The IRS is tapping into AI models to inspect the complex structures and tax issues in large partnerships.

  • The IRS has uncovered tax discrepancies in 75 partnerships with $10B in assets using AI.

Why It’s Important:
  • The U.S. government is prioritizing high-income cases, narrowing focus on partnership issues through compliance letters, and expanding work on digital assets.

CHARACTER AI

⚔️Character AI Challenges ChatGPT

Character.ai, an AI app maker that allows users to design tailored characters, is challenging ChatGPT in mobile app usage.

Key Details:
  • Market intelligence firm Similarweb published a recent analysis on Character.ai app usage on iOS and Android platforms. The platform is seeing $4.2M monthly active users in the U.S., compared to $6M monthly active users for ChatGPT’s mobile apps.

  • Character.ai launched in May 2023 and topped $1.7M installs in the first week. Installs don’t translate to users. However, the mobile app boasted a 30-day retention period.

  • This company has plenty of runway left to continue growing its user base. The mobile app’s massive $150M Series A funding and $1B valuation provide ample capital to continue funding improvements and expansive outreach.

Why It’s Important:
  • Character.ai’s web traffic drew 60% of the 18-24 age bracket. In July, only 27% of ChatGPT’s traffic was comprised of younger demographics.

  • By capturing a younger audience, Character.ai can achieve greater brand loyalty through valuable long-term performances.
