Fury as HMRC ‘spying on Brits’ online posts’ using AI | UK | News
HMRC, a security expert “Horizon Post Office Type Scandal” in some cases warned about Brits’s social media broadcasts to espion to use artificial intelligence agreed to use. In addition to publications on the internet to seek proof of cheating, financial recordings, expenditure habits and tax returns – examine. For example, showing large purchases or an expensive holiday may be a red flag if the person seems to spend beyond their vehicles.
This increased concerns about errors that may arise when important tax decisions based on personal data were made without a human judiciary. Sir John Hayes, the president of a former security minister and the common sense of TOR MPs, warned potentially terrible results comparable to the post office scandal.
He said: “When it comes to hidden or sensitive materials, people need to make sure that people with experience, common sense and judgment make decisions.
“Automatic processes remove human interactions. I am very concerned that we will result in a Horizon Post Office -type scandal. The idea that a machine should always be correct is what leads to the post office scandal. I am a great AI skeptic.”
HMRC emphasized that AI is only used for the monitoring of social media in criminal investigations and that there are “solid measures”. This has been reported for years and all uses of technology are in laws.
These tools are used with Connect, a separate CT system to examine financial data for routine tax investigations.
Uses billions of data points, including information about possible tax evasion – to make investigations without humans and thus reduce costs.
“The use of AI for social media monitoring is limited to criminal investigations and is subject to legal supervision.
“AI supports our processes, but like all the effective use of this new technology-there are health measures and does not replace human decision recruitment.
“More use of artificial intelligence will target the target of better target fraud and smuggling to bring more money for public services, as well as helping our staff spend less time for the manager and assisting taxpayers.”
