Denmark grants citizens copyright over faces, voices

Denmark has passed legislation granting citizens copyright over their facial features and voices to combat deepfakes. This aims to protect individuals from AI-generated content impersonating them. The new law gives Danes the right to demand the removal of unauthorized deepfake content. This includes their faces, bodies, and voices, with exceptions for satire and parody. The Danish government believes this is the first such law in Europe, responding to the growing threat of AI-generated impersonation. The legislation is expected to be widely approved and may inspire similar laws elsewhere.
