  • Patent number: 10817958
    Abstract: Various robotic detection apparatus with artificial intelligence and machine learning, and with a processor, a memory, a vendor identification engine, a compliance engine, and a reporting engine, are disclosed. The apparatus automatically updates its updating databases, thereby improving its results, and thereby learning and becoming more intelligent as time passes. The apparatus automatically analyses its data and detects non-compliance with various tax statutes by specific tax payors. The apparatus may receive tax information from one or more sources, combine all or some of the information into a single form, and apply various software processes to calculate a weighted average. The average is then compared to a threshold to determine whether a person or entity is in tax compliance.
