From Imagination to Grounded Reality

27 Feb 2026 • By Asksolique.ai Team • Tax & Regulatory

Albert Einstein said “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world” and went on to add, 'Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.' May be Artificial intelligence (AI) is encouraged by these words of the great Scientist to hallucinate.

Though everyone appreciates the value of AI, hallucinations are the major deterrent. Every report generated by AI needs to carry a disclaimer. Despite the awareness, various instances have been reported in the advisory and taxation field.

Mata v Aviancais one of the earliest reported US case in 2023 wherein the Attorneys relied upon fictitious case law generated by AI
Deloitte Australiais alleged to have submitted report to Australian Government that contained AI generated non-existent academic research papers and a fabricated quote from a federal court judgment.
In India, the Appellate Authority - Income Tax Appellate Tribunal is stated to have passedordersbased on judgments cited by Revenue, which were later found to be non-existent and later the order came to be withdrawn.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court ofIndiarecently raised concern on usage of AI for drafting petitions that contain fake case citations.

Thus, starting with about 19 tracked cases in 2023, by late 2025, aggregated datasets recorded nearly 800 documented cases of AI-related citation errors across at least 25jurisdictions.

All the above are serious pointers to unreliable data being generated from AI. However, the benefits of AI cannot be easily replaced with. Thus, the usage of reliable data assumes great importance and exactly it is this aspect which Asksolique.ai has taken utmost care to address, as they aim to serve the Professional Consulting community. Business users rely upon the Professionals to provide accurate and timely advisory report on complex tax queries and in turn the Professionals count on Asksolique.ai for providing them such reliable reports.

Asksolique.ai is a vertical AI system which focuses on tax advisory needs of the Professionals and Clients. The trusted database consists of

Income Tax Bare Act, Rules, Circulars and Notifications,
Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements signed by India with other countries including Multilateral Instruments
Budget memorandum and Finance Act
Reputed commentaries
More than two lakh Income tax judgments of Hon’ble Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, High Courts and the Supreme Court taken from reliable source

It is only these up-to-date data sets that are cleaned, verified and stored and later retrieved for answering the queries. The prompts are well grounded. Every output is cross-verified with authentic Government source. Also, upload of document by Clients is strictly prohibited thereby restricting usage of any outside data. Above all, there is constant human oversight by the technology and the technical team on a daily basis.

When a user asks a query, the system retrieves the answer from the trusted database and AI only summarises the data which was retrieved and if nothing is retrieved, it states accordingly. The system does not depend upon any data other than those above and hence if any question not related to above is posted, varied responses as below are observed:

Please ask a question that is related to Income tax.
This does not look like an Income tax related query to me.
Tax issue not identifiable from the text.

Thus, the system is trained to avoid providing response than start stepping in with its own imagination.

If the data is well grounded, it could be utilised in various creative forms which are being explored like

In case the Client is interested in working on documents upload, then the product API is provided to the Client for run in their database, to ensure data protection. At present, white-labelling is provided which allows the Client to download customized reports with their logo, font, size etc.
Providing API to Client for onward sub-licensing to their Business Users, who can use it on need basis.
Addressing the specific requirements of the Client – say, a Senior Professional Agentic API for complex queries, a Junior Executive Agentic API for procedural queries could be customized.

While well begun is half done, well-grounded sustains the run. Data integrity is a marathon and Asksolique.ai is committed to winning with discipline and oversight.
