Cartoon: Taxes, Artificial Intelligence, and Humans

April 15 is a tax day in the US, when taxes are traditionally due (although because of weekends and holidays they are usually due a couple of days later). In honor of Tax Day, new KDnuggets Cartoon looks at an unexpected white-collar job that may resist automation and Machine Learning. Executive: "The robots have taken over almost all jobs, but we still need Jenkins to cheat on our taxes." This cartoon was ably drawn by Jon Carter. In real-life, robots and AI are learning to lie on par with the best of humans: In January 2017 CMU poker bot Libratus defeated 4 of the world's best professional poker players, and winning in poker requires both bluffing and understanding when the opponent bluffs.
