Deciding What to Do with AI Is a Tax Skill, Not a Technology One
First published on LinkedIn, 23 July 2026.
“We don’t know where to start.” A head of tax said it to me over coffee last month, and I’ve heard versions of it all year. The reasons that follow vary: no budget, no time, no spare people, no clear picture of what the technology can actually do, and no idea how to get the board to care. What almost never varies is who’s saying it: tax people running functions that defend complex positions under scrutiny. I want to take those blockers seriously in this article. Deciding what to do with AI isn’t about technology. It’s a judgement skill, and it’s one we already own as a profession.

🔧 A Small Win: Rethinking a Spreadsheet-Heavy Process
I used to follow a writing rule: “write as if to yourself six months ago.” I think that timeframe should probably be revised to monthly or even weekly. Things are moving fast.
In late December 2025, Andrej Karpathy: former AI director at Tesla, co-founder of OpenAI, the person who coined “vibe coding”, shared something that resonated deeply with me:
Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves not to fall behind.

Building an Interactive AI Management Essentials Tool
During the Easter weekend, I worked on a mini project to create an interactive version of the UK government’s AI Management Essentials (“AIME”) Tool. The original DSIT questionnaire is static and covers 10 essential sections across three key areas:
- Internal Processes (AI system record, AI policy, Fairness)
- Managing Risks (Impact assessment, Risk assessment, Data management, Bias mitigation, Data protection)
- Communication (Issue reporting, Third party communication)
As organizations increasingly adopt AI systems, proper governance and management frameworks become critical. The self-assessment questionnaire from DSIT offers an excellent starting points for organisations to conisder what Ai management framework would be most suitable for their specific scenario.
