The problem of freedoms and non-freedoms within the framework of a democratic regime is of interest to most researchers, since it depends on them how "correctly" each of us understands how and for whom these categories work. Of course, we are interested in the latest developments in this area, so the editors cite a study by Professor Stephen Feldstein from Boise State University. It is difficult to agree with Professor Feldstein absolutely in everything, and therefore some fragments of the article are marked with footnotes of the author of the translation. The author of the article cannot be taken away from the merit that the study of this issue requires seriousness and a close look into the future. First of all, Stephen Feldstein in his article exposes the fruits of advanced artificial intelligence as an accomplice and hotbed of an autocratic repressive regime of government. Cites the scenarios according to which modern authoritarians solve the problems of the emergence of opposition forces within the country. Draws predictive pictures that can come true if the pace of development of technologies in the field of artificial intelligence continues to grow temporally. Nevertheless, we must assume that the main premise that the author wanted to convey to us is a warning against the superpowers of artificial intelligence that China possesses and the fruits of new technologies that it is ready to share in the name, if we continue the author's thought, of a shallow hidden intention of world domination, thereby, as we can draw independent conclusions, violating similar plans of the United States.
