Don't trust AI with your Detroit taxes. Seriously.

Your taxes and AI what you need to know in Detroit

So let me tell you—this whole thing about using Artificial Intelligence for your taxes, or just sharing your personal info with it? Now listen, it's got folks on edge everywhere, but when I hear an expert say, "Don't trust AI with your taxes," my mind immediately goes to the East Side, the West Side, down by Mexicantown, all the way up to 8 Mile. We've seen enough folks get taken advantage of in this city, on God. We've got neighborhoods still fighting to get back on their feet after everything, and the last thing we need is some slick AI coming in and messing with people's money. We're talking about folks trying to keep their lights on, keep food on the table, trying to save up for a Buddy's pizza night, not trying to get caught up in some data breach from an algorithm that ain't got no soul.

This ain't just some tech abstract, this is real for Detroit. We got people still recovering from a pandemic that hit us different, folks trying to make sure their kids got what they need. When you’re living paycheck to paycheck, or trying to rebuild after losing everything, every single penny counts. The idea that some AI could mess up your return, or worse, expose your personal information? That's not just an inconvenience, that's a threat to stability. We talk about resilience here, about staying through everything, but part of that is protecting what's ours. We need to be sharper than ever, especially when it comes to technology that promises to make things easier but might just be making us more vulnerable.

Detroit on the wire — we don't leave, we rebuild.

You know Kevin and the crew gonna break this down with that Detroit perspective every morning — catch it live at mornings.live.
