The evaluation of the efficiency of an investment project implemented in the real economy is impossible without assessing its environmental implications. The justification of investment projects may apply modern specialized software. Such software products do not provide an opportunity to fully automate the preparation of the environmental section of the business plan. The authors believe that it is wise to introduce automation into the development of the environmental section of the investment project business plan through an appropriate intelligent information system (expert system). Processing input data requested by the system with various prompts and explanations, the expert system should form the environmental section of the business plan. The proposed system should play the role of a consultant in the field of environmental legislation. It should offer the user a list of environmental protection measures corresponding to their project. The design and application of the expert system will lead to several positive effects: faster development of project materials, improved quality of planning, reduced number of mistakes, lower cost of assessment, increased confidence in the environmental section of the business plan by third-party participants, increased literacy of users of the expert system in the field of environmental protection.

The paper analyses the risks and threats caused by the development and implementation of artificial intelligence technologies. We believe that these risks and threats need research in the long term. Importantly, the use of intelligent information systems has a twofold effect: it can lead to both positive and negative results. The paper also considers the influence of artificial intelligence technologies on the various activities. It proposes a classification of risks and threats caused by the development and implementation of artificial intelligence technologies by the main spheres of human activity.
