Two leading Republicans—House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R‑Ohio) and Representative Harriet Hageman (R‑Wyoming)—have initiated an official congressional probe targeting how the IRS is reportedly using artificial intelligence. Their March 2024 inquiry raises alarms over allegations that the IRS may be conducting “AI‑powered warrantless financial surveillance,” scanning taxpayers’ bank accounts, tax returns, and broader financial activity without legal process.

The investigation is driven in part by a leaked video featuring IRS Criminal Investigations Unit official Alex Mena, who appears to describe a “new system” using AI to monitor financial data en masse—including accessing information across companies globally—and potentially targeting everyday Americans. Jordan and Hageman have requested transcribed testimony from Mena and demanded detailed records from the Treasury and Justice Departments regarding any AI-driven taxpayer surveillance.
