      L'apprehension  de l'intelligence artificielle par la fiscalit6 frangaise

      The application of GTP4 Chat has opened up new and more intense possibilities for the applica-
      tion of artificial intelligence At the same time, the possibility of acquiring new and more infor-
      mation in a difficult balance between greater administrative efficiency and the necessary respect
      for the privacy of personal data The use of artificial intelligence procedures has become massive
      on the part of the Ministry of Finance, but the corresponding applications have been of a var-
      ied experimental nature. The consequences of this technological revolution on tax procedures
      and its necessary legal framework, both by the legislator and by the independent administrative
      authorities (in particular the CNIL) and the courts, have yet to materialise.

      L'application du Chat GTP4 a ouvert des possibilit6s nouvelles et plus intenses pour l'application
      de l'intelligence artificielle Dans le meme temps, la possibilite d'acquerir des informations nou-
      velles et plus nombreuses dans un 6quilibre difficile a trouver entre une plus grande efficacit6
      administrative et le respect necessaire de la vie priv6e des donnees personnelles L'utilisation de
      proc6dures d'intelligence artificielle est devenue massive de la part du ministere des finances,
      mais les applications correspondantes ont 6t6 de nature diversement exp6rimentale. Reste en-
      core a materialiser les consequences de cette revolution technologique sur les procedures fiscales
      et son necessaire encadrement juridique tant par le legislateur que par les autorites administra-
      tives independantes (notamment la CNIL) et les juridictions.

The launch  of ChatGPT  in November  2022  was perceived by the public as a digital revolution open-
ing a new  era. However,  artificial intelligence (AI) technologies were envisaged as early as the
1950s  and experienced  a boom  in the 2010s  well before ChatGPT   thanks to the development   of
the computing  power  of information systems and  new machine   learning techniques. According  to
the OECD,   an artificial intelligence system is an automated system that, for explicit or implicit
objectives, infers, from received inputs, how to generate output results such as forecasts, content,
recommendations or   decisions that can influence physical or virtual environments.  Different Al
