AI discovers over 20K taxable French swimming pools

The French government is successfully using AI to discover taxable swimming pools. IT firm Capgemini worked with Google to create the AI which analyses aerial photos taken by France's National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information, identifies pools, and then cross-references them with national tax and property registries. So far, the project has spotted 20,356 undeclared swimming pools. The government has used the data to collect almost €10 million in additional taxes. Despite the project's success, it's only been used for nine out of France's 96 metro areas.
