On March 21, 2024, Jim Jordan, House Judiciary Committee Chairman, announced an investigation into the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over allegations that the agency is using artificial intelligence (AI) to spy on American taxpayers en masse. This action follows concerns and warnings from Representatives Harriet Hageman and Jim Jordan about a new AI-powered tool that could surveil Americans' bank accounts. The investigation was further propelled by OMG undercover footage capturing IRS official Alex Mena questioning the constitutionality of the IRS's monitoring activities. On March 22, 2024, Jordan filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against Mark Daly and Jack Morgan, two DOJ tax division attorneys, to enforce subpoena compliance. The probe into the IRS's use of AI has raised significant privacy concerns among lawmakers and the public.
