About this episode

This episode discusses the risks and future implications of using public AI platforms for tax professionals with insights from AI entrepreneur Denis Mezheritskiy.

Every day, accountants, CPAs, EAs, and tax attorneys are uploading confidential information, workflows, and years of hard-earned expertise into public AI platforms like ChatGPT and Claude. But what are they really giving away? In this episode, Eric Green sits down with AI entrepreneur Denis Mezheritskiy to discuss why generic AI tools aren't enough for professional firms—and why the future belongs to firms that build and control their own AI knowledge base. They cover: • Why public AI can expose your firm's intellectual property • The hidden risks of uploading client data into ChatGPT • The difference between generic AI and a proprietary "AI Brain" • How AI employees will transform accounting firms • Why tax professionals who embrace AI will outgrow those who don't • How the IRS is already using AI for enforcement and audits • What every accounting firm should be doing today to prepare for the next five years If you're a CPA, EA, attorney, bookkeeper, or firm owner, this episode will change the way you think about AI—and may convince you to stop training someone else's platform with your expertise.
