Purpose: The aim of the study is to indicate the essence of copyright in the context of what was, is, and may be. Drawing attention to the changing reality, the expansion of artificial intelligence as a potential author of a given work, who as the creator will be entitled to legal protection. If we assume that a snail and cancer can be a fish, a carrot can be a fruit, and a machine cannot be an inventor because it is just a tool, then what is copyright in human life? What is the difference between artificial intelligence in copyright law and the natural intelligence of a given author - creator, if both are intelligent creations? Why is there talk of a higher than natural intelligence in a situation in which it is not so much about something completely new and from the beginning, but about something that is simply better, faster, more accurate and more efficient in some respects than an intelligent man, whom this thing does not replace, but only helps. Design/methodology/approach: The research method used in this article is the analysis of legal sources, scientific studies of interdisciplinary scope, supplemented by interviews, observations and experience of the author. The research procedure included the analysis of information sources, a review of Polish and foreign literature, an analysis of legal acts, a method of analysis and synthesis, a case study and logical deductive reasoning in the timespace of yesterday - today - tomorrow. Findings: For centuries, man has wanted to be better, to overcome basically everything, including Nature, to create something that could have existed so far without his participation or with his indirect participation. The emergence of concepts related to artificial intelligence only seemingly suggests a desire to take control of man. Man is a realistic, rich structure composed of soul and body, which artificial intelligence does not have. Who will be the creator and who will be entitled to the rights and how they will be protected when the object of protection becomes the product of artificial intelligence. Thanks to the algorithms used, an artificial intellectual creator is able to quickly assimilate many things, but first he must know what. Here we come to a very important issue - who should "feed" artificial intelligence data so that the so-called biased algorithms are not created. At the moment, attributing copyright to machines and devices and granting them legal protection as a creator seems to be an action incompatible with the natural protection of man as a creator. Research limitations/implications: The limitations of the results obtained may result from a limited research sample, including textual sample. They may result from too innovative invention of comprehensive use of artificial intelligence, which in the case of copyright is attributed to man. The trick is to come up with an innovative solution and construct some unprecedented thing, but the success of this mainly depends on their widespread use. In many areas, artificial intelligence is to be used on the march, it will be more difficult to use it in areas that are inherently reserved for man with his creativity. Originality/value: The presented research, suggestions and conclusions provide not only practical but also theoretical tips to scientists and average citizens, mainly those who are not aware of what copyright is, what copyright protection is, who it is supposed to cover and to what extent. One of the objectives of the legislation on the use of artificial intelligence is to increase the protection of creators. Creating regulations to effectively protect the rights given to people, perhaps in the future also artificial intelligence.(original abstract)
