The advantages of artificial intelligence are extensively discussed in specialized literature, which claim that technology has the power to fundamentally change society. However, rapid development of artificial intelligence does carry some serious risks, the most important of which is the spread of false and discriminatory information. Since artificial intelligence is "fed" with data from many sources, there is an increased risk that some of the data contains extremist or xenophobic literature. In such circumstances, artificial intelligence could spread extremely dangerous theories and ideas. Thus, government intervention is required to preserve control over the different data categories that developers have access to. As an example, we would like to bring up the fact that during testing, one of the most well-known AI interfaces, GPT-4, provided "advice" on how to murder a huge amount of people for a single dollar and what messages to promote in order to attract people to join Al-Qaeda.
