Cyberlobbying and Artificial Intelligence in the Light of the Issues of Public Discourse in a Democratic State Under the Rule of Law

The aim of this article is to analyze the impact of the use of artificial intelligence as a tool of cyberlobbying on public discourse in a democratic state under the rule of law. In the first place, cybersecurity threats resulting from lobbying activities carried out via IT tools and the Internet, i.e. cyberlobbying, were presented. The second area of analysis focuses on the question of risks to public safety in the face of the development of artificial intelligence and the potential of its use in advocacy for particular interests. The issue of the use of AI in strategic and executive lobbying requires an answer to the question of whether, or to what extent, effective lobbying is a well-defined problem. The combination of the possibility of influencing public opinion in cyberspace with data analysis and the possibility of generating conclusions about the constantly growing number of contexts, opens up discussions about the potential of using AI for all information management activities, including those aimed at influencing the decisions of public institutions.
