According to a new <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.sam.gov\/opp\/304d406695434141a49f1cdafa7bb78b\/view?keywords=cloud&#038;sort=-modifiedDate&#038;index=opp&#038;is_active=true&#038;page=1\" target=_blank>request for information posted April 9<\/a> by the tax agency, it\u2019s asking industry for its own, IRS mission-specific version of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IRS is looking for an \u201cinteractive prototype that simulates real-life events (similar to those that drive popular video games like \u2018The Sims\u2019) when its populated with statistical data about United States (US) household incomes and family sizes to create, track and generate output triggers for tax-related events,\u201d the RFI read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tax agency is also requesting a report on artificial intelligence- and non-AI-based data modeling or prototyping tools for the government to simulate real-life events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project will allow the IRS to \u201cgenerate, manage and control\u201d synthetic tax data, or artificially generated data, to potentially be deployed at an enterprise level. The RFI is part of the Pilot IRS program, which looks to streamline the acquisition process for new technology solutions at the tax agency famous for using decades-old systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The synthetic data allows the IRS to test its systems, but it has trouble creating such data and keeping it current, the agency explained in an update on the Pilot IRS program, reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nextgov.com\/emerging-tech\/2020\/03\/pilot-irs-return-new-focus-areas-and-significantly-more-funding\/163526\/\" target=\"_blank\">by NextGov<\/a> in
