flag Canada's tax agency faces criticism for poor human and AI service accuracy, with experts demanding fixes before expanding AI.

flag AI experts are urging the Canada Revenue Agency to fix persistent inaccuracies in its human customer service before expanding artificial intelligence tools, following a federal audit revealing that fewer than one in five callers received correct answers from live agents and the chatbot Charlie was accurate only about one-third of the time. flag Experts stress that AI depends on reliable human input and should not replace human oversight, especially for complex tax issues, advocating for a hybrid model where chatbots handle routine questions and humans manage nuanced cases. flag They emphasize that public trust requires AI accuracy of at least 70% to 90%, and that foundational improvements in human service delivery must come before widespread AI adoption, despite the CRA's ongoing expansion of chatbot operations and pilot testing of generative AI.
