“…Among professional ethics, of special (and increasing) significance is today ethics of science and of technology (of scientists and of engineers). Perhaps the most important factor determining the special part played by this sub-branch of ethics is the transformation (ongoing in various domains of science with variegated velocity) of (traditional) sciences into technoscience (Bińczyk, 2012;Abney, 2022). In consequence, science contributes more and more to the increasing complexity of the eco-techno-socio-system, and thus (as already mentioned above) to the increase of risks connected with its functioning.…”

Purpose of the study: Indication of the essence -value, universality and necessity of being which are human rights. Drawing attention to the changing reality -what human rights were supposed to be and what they are in reality. Drawing attention to the fact that the great achievements devoted to human rights become fiction, illusion and illusion, and myths and optimistic ideas as well as wishful thinking are not able to remove paradoxes. Project/methodology/approach: The research method is the analysis of historical sources and legal, scientific studies of interdisciplinary scope, supplemented by the 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 scientific studies in the field of: general history, law, philosophy, sociology, religion, theology, psychology of others, the method of analysis and synthesis and logical deductive reasoning in the time space yesterday -todaytomorrow -always. Conclusions: Human rights are the basic norms to which each of us is entitled to the very fact of being human. Man as a value -a rational being has always been aware that his existence depends on others. Creating new generations of human rights, adopting new conventions, adopting resolutions and debating seem to be empty talk about the fact that nothing has happened, that it cannot or should not be done. In a situation where man's life is worth less than economic and political interests, and the world enters the realm of mysticism, usurpation and delusion, man has no guarantee of respecting his rights. All regulations, regardless of which authorities they come from, what area they concern and how many people they apply, are only a determinant of how it should be, not how it should be, because it is worth it. Originality/Value: There are no more important issues than human rights. All over the globe there are people who are affected by human rights. The presented research, suggestions, conclusions and analyses provide practical and theoretical clues -what human rights are and what they should be, how these rights are not respected and why. Emphasising that human rights issues boil down to debating, consulting and creating a vast, intricate and incomprehensible law, which in principle cannot be enforced. Why does humanity need a seemingly universal law that does not work, can do little and only promises a lot. It seems less important to the average person to give rights a universal and inalienable character. What is more important is its certainty and effectiveness, especially when a person expects it from the law.

“…If you accept the conviction that technology influences the current and future state (Abney, 2022) of our world and that its development should be controlled (Grunwald, 2009;Johnson, 2022) then you should also accept that the development of the control of the technology development is a task for which some of us are responsible in a particular way (Ess, 2022).…”

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 yesterdaytodaytomorrow. 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 issuewho 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 8 M. Boczek 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 m...
