Lexifina proposes AI formal verification to find tax code loopholes in a global law repo
SnooPeripherals5313 · reddit · 2026-11-10
Lexifina proposes a cybersecurity-analogy approach: its open-source global-law repo version-controls laws and caselaw worldwide, and AI can scan it like code to find loopholes and logical errors.
- Mechanical defects (e.g., statutes pointing to expired or non-existent legislation) can already be auto-detected, even though law is 'grey on purpose.'
- The article demonstrates detection of a known tax backdoor, with plans to extend the approach across the tax code and flag findings to legislators and the public.
An early-stage AI × legal formalism project idea, without full evaluation results yet.
