To what extent does the increasing importance of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, bring new risks such as cybercrime, disinformation and manipulation of public opinion? How should the development of digital technology applications, including artificial intelligence, be managed in order to significantly reduce the scale of misinformation on online social media and other threats and risks arising from this development?

The results of many studies confirm the thesis that the modern world, dominated by digital technologies, brings not only progress and facilitation, but also new, unprecedented threats. Cybercrime, disinformation and public opinion manipulation are problems that affect an increasing number of people and institutions, undermining trust in technology and weakening democratic processes. Cybercrime, including hacking, data theft and online fraud, poses a serious threat to the security of both individuals and organisations. Disinformation, the deliberate spread of false information, aims to mislead the public and achieve specific goals. The manipulation of public opinion, often using disinformation and other psychological techniques, is used to influence people's attitudes and behaviour. A successful solution to these problems requires a comprehensive approach, including strengthening cybersecurity, combating disinformation, educating people on the safe use of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence technologies, and international cooperation. Research plays an important role in solving these problems by providing the knowledge and analysis necessary to develop effective strategies. In recent years, the importance of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence and other Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies, has increased, with both positive aspects, development opportunities and negative effects, threats and new risks. The development of artificial intelligence applications also brings new risks, such as cybercrime, disinformation and manipulation of public opinion. This raises the following question: How should the development of digital applications, including artificial intelligence, be managed in order to significantly reduce the generation of disinformation on online social media and limit the scale of other threats and risks arising from this development?

I have described the key issues of opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technology in my article below:
