Abstract

Although so-called artificial intelligence is an area of scientific research the origins of which date back the mid-20th century, not until the last few years has an acceleration in the implementation of solutions based thereon become apparent. Given the growth of interest in so-called generative artificial intelligence, as well as the possibility of its use in the private sphere or in business activities, the authors of the article have decided to address the fundamental problem of determining the authorship of the content generated using this innovative technical solution. The purpose of this paper is to find answers to the questions whether the content created with the use of generative artificial intelligence tools can be qualified as a work, as well as to whom, in light of the current legislation in force, authorship can be attributed.
