Copenhagen —Denmark is poised to become the first European country to grant citizens copyright over their own face, voice and physical likeness to counter the rising threat of AI-generated deepfakes, officials said.
The proposed law would empower individuals to demand the removal of unauthorized deepfake images, audio or video and seek compensation. Platforms that fail to act could face significant fines.
The legislation includes exemptions for satire and parody, and is supported by a broad parliamentary majority. It aligns with upcoming EU regulations and is expected to be finalized within next few months.
