With the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), it has become widely used in many aspects of our daily lives. AI is now so integrated into society that it is already being used in political party campaigns, for example, to create campaign content or to inform the public about relevant statistical data. In this paper, it will be discussed how the use of AI in politics, when used negatively, can influence and manipulate public opinion, as well as contribute to the spread of misinformation. I will also examine the main consequences associated with this phenomenon.
