In this episode of The Valley Current®, Jack Russo speaks with CPA Steve Rabin about the future of AI in accounting and tax preparation. While AI-driven bookkeeping has seen major setbacks—such as the collapse of Bench—Rabin explains why human oversight remains essential for complex financial tasks. Simple tax returns may soon be automated, but nuanced decision-making still requires expertise. They discuss the IRS's self-service tax filing plans, potential AI mentorship for young professionals, and why fully automated CPAs remain a Jetsons-like fantasy. For now, human accountants aren't going anywhere. Tune in for a deep dive into AI's limitations.   https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/03/14/irs-direct-file-doge-musk-free-tax-filing/   Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️

More than likely the future will be fueled by augmented intelligence – meaning it needs human involvement supported by AI. Increased levels of intelligent automation will result in big shakeups for knowledge workers as new features roll out that will boost productivity and remove factors such as human error, biases, and emotional reactions.

Put the work first, yourself second and the audience last. It may sound counter intuitive for aspiring artists looking to make money, but this basic philosophy goes beyond paint. This philosophy reflects a lifestyle that can be applied anywhere people can be creative. Creativity requires a strong, passionate mindset, a honed skillset, and the right set of tools to bring them all together. Creativity happens in the wildest of places, and when they do, you better be ready to capture them before it passes.

Way back in the early 2000's, everyone in the mortgage company panicked when a single company decided they would go all in and become the first online mortgage company. It didn't take long for professionals to figure out how archaic the system was and today, going online for any part of your home buying experience is just part of the process. Now AI is making its big debut in real estate as Zillow announces it will utilize AI in the products for both consumers and professionals.

Whether one loves or hates ChatGPT, this much is clear: it is by far the fastest, lowest-cost (non-advertising based) way to quicky obtain information and perhaps even some “knowledge” on a given topic. As much as it feels like someone is conveying more than just information to us, it is still software pulling text, numbers and other data from across the internet and presenting it in a user-friendly matter within seconds. Despite a major legal “hallucination snafu” we mentioned in last month's podcast, large language model (LLM based) AI tools are still going to impact knowledge workers, but a ruling on intellectual property could change all that. Last week a new federal class action complaint was filed in the federal court in San Francisco claiming that OpenAI effectively plagiarized information from authors while ignoring all copyright rights. Will OpenAI eventually concede some responsibility for paying royalties or will this case eventually need Supreme Court review? Today host Jack Russo and the CLG Educational Team discuss if AI based scraping practices are copyright infringement or are the First Amendment and statutorily protected fair-use of the “ideas” and underlying data and not the “protected expression” of the copyrighted works (which the lawsuit limits to just the registered copyrights of record in the US Copyright Office).

When the housing market was strong, nearly everyone either had a part time gig in real estate or they fully switched career paths for easy money. Now that the market has slowed, nearly 40% of loan officers declined the option to renew their license this year. It's an unfortunate, but necessary cycle that weeds out those who dabbled in the market and leaves only those who are truly committed. Of course, this cycle is not limited to only real estate, all businesses need to experience the same process of burn and regrowth to become stronger.

The 2024 presidential elections are in less than 18 months and once again, the news focus is all on former President Donald Trump. Last week, Trump became the first US President to be formally charged with committing various federal crimes based on his refusal (post-January 6,2021) to return classified documents he removed from the White House and in his attempt to hide them at his Mar-a-Lago, Florida home. Polarization is not the only issue complicating the process of granting Trump (and the co-defendant aide also named in the indictment) a fair trial. Loyalty, which was a major element of Trump's presidency, raises some doubt over the electronic evidence originating from that aide and over whether a Florida federal jury can ever unanimously convict both or either of them. And, what pre-trial rulings by the Trump-appointed federal judge will set the framework for that criminal trial? Is a firm trial date possible within the next 18 months? If not, could a trial theoretically happen even if Trump wins the 2024 election? Today host Jack Russo asks Professor Myron Moskovitz can the rule of law survive Donald Trump?   Click here to read more about the classified documents in this New York Times article

The extent that the First Amendment covers is being discussed once again.

The man was denied his trademark due to the PTO's policy of not registering a trademark without consent from the person whose name is being used.

Since Donald Trump is very unlikely to allow this man to use his name in the trademark, we have to wonder if the PTO's policy regarding consent is wrong in itself.

While the nation anxiously awaits the day the headlines tell us if vaccinated individuals are protected or not, Dr Leonard Hayflick is fuming since this type of research should only take as long as verifying if the patient is vaccinated or not instead of the illogical two week study the media is promising us. Jack Russo and Dr Hayflick discuss if mainstream media has gotten to the point where it is unwilling to report basic scientific inquires, how to lie with statistics, and if dealing with covid will be as common as dealing with the flu.

It's hard to imagine an individual traversing the federal system, particularly in a patent case. Litigation fees can rack up quick, meaning law firms may choose to not represent risky individual clients compared to safer corporations where more money is usually held. After 9 long years, Tarun Surti, who brought a major patent case against a company that seemed to be intentionally infringing, has finally won! - And more impressively, he's done it all on his own.

Covid data is rolling out and though the numbers may differ depending on where you live, we are all learning about how the covid vaccine (or any vaccine) is made and how it works in our bodies. No matter where you stand on vaccine mandates, one good aspect of this discussion has been making health consciousness part of our life in ways we never did before. It's very possible that the pandemic has become a springboard for younger generations to increase their understanding of the value of good health and medical treatments, ensuring their lives and future generations put quality living at the forefront of their agenda. It is also likely that the millions of Americans who refuse to vaccinate will teach their children similar sentiments. Jack Russo and Leonard Hayflick discuss the future of health literacy in the United States as we move forward in a post-pandemic world.

A steadfast rule of being a judge is remaining impartial to the case before you…. So why did over 100 judges break the law and take on cases where they had financial interests? Part of the problem could lie in that many (if not all) of these judges have a professional manage their investments leaving the judges ignorant of their involvement. It would be a huge undertaking for a new judge to come in and retry all these cases which would take up years of court time, but Jack Russo and Bernie Marren both agree that the losers of these cases want their fair trial. All this data is public but is just now coming to light thanks to the AI that is catching all the bits and pieces humans miss. Has data analytics created enough havoc for the federal judiciary or is this just a small part of a larger problem that goes up to the Supreme Court?
