10_commercial_ai: None of the above.
11_purpose_benefits: What is the purpose/objective of this AI project? 
Intelligent Data extraction from scanned 941X forms
At a high level, how does it accomplish its purpose? 
Digital processing of Form 941X using Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Document Processing to read scanned forms, extract data in usable format and distribute the data to downstream systems.
What is the decision or judgment that this model automates? 
Learning and improving character recognition while extracting the data. Decision is about recognizing the extracted character correctly.
Are humans in the loop in reviewing the AI output prior to taking action on the results? If so, how? 
Yes, When the character extraction confidence scores are lower, the form is diverted to UiPath Action Center, where a Human in the loop reviews the extracted data and confirms/corrects before submitting.
What benefits are anticipated to come from this project? 
Speed, volume, and Accuracy in data extraction from scanned taxpayer forms
What is the direct or ultimate impact of this decision? 
Speed of data extraction from paper forms and clearing the backlog of 941x forms to be processed.
What is the population impacted by this decision?
Data Transcribes can transcribe a lot more forms at a much faster rate than manual process.
12_outputs: The system will extract text from the forms (pdf's) translating handwritten text into a digital format. After the extraction process the system presents what was extracted to the end user to then validate before anything is sent to any downstream systems.
