Denmark to tackle deepfakes by giving people copyright to their own features | Deepfake
2025-07-31
Denmark is amending its copyright law to give individuals exclusive rights to their own facial features, voice, and body, making it illegal to create or share AI-generated deepfakes without consent. The law, backed by cross-party agreement and expected to pass in autumn 2025, aims to be Europe's first such legislation and includes provisions for compensation and potential platform fines, while exempting parodies and satire. Denmark plans to leverage its EU presidency to encourage other European countries to adopt similar protections against identity misuse through generative AI.
