This is probably an area that could massively benefit from AI, but won't because the oligarchs won't let it. AI would be great for auditing things like taxes and other filings. But that enigma is where a lot of oligarchs flourish.

Oligarchs will understand this and make sure it doesn't negatively impact them.
