The Danish government plans to strengthen copyright laws to address the creation and dissemination of AI-generated deepfakes, marking a pioneering approach in Europe. The proposed law aims to ensure that individuals retain rights over their own body, voice, and image. Culture Minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt emphasized the urgency of this legislation in light of the increasing ease of generating realistic digital fakes. With wide parliamentary support, the law aims to empower individuals to demand removal of unauthorized content and seeks to prevent the misuse of identity while maintaining allowances for parody and satire.
Human beings can be run through the digital copy machine and be misused for all sorts of purposes and I'm not willing to accept that. The bill aims to safeguard every individual's right over their own body, voice, and image.
In the bill we agree and are sending an unequivocal message that everybody has the right to their own body, their own voice and their own facial features, which is apparently not how the current law is protecting people against generative AI.
