The Danish government plans to amend its copyright law to ensure citizens have rights to their own body, voice, and facial features. This change, advocated by the culture minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt, aims to counteract the growing risks posed by deepfakes and generative AI. Although a formal proposal is still pending, there is already cross-party support for this significant reform. In contrast, similar laws in the U.S. face challenges as Congress considers limiting state control over AI regulations, highlighting the diverse approaches to managing deepfake technology globally.
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.
The Danish government is working to change copyright law to give its citizens the right to their own body, facial features, and voice, to strengthen protections against deepfakes.
