Denmark is set to become the first European nation to allow citizens to copyright their face, voice, and body to combat AI-generated deepfakes.
This proposed amendment to the Copyright Act, backed by 90% of parliament, grants individuals legal ownership over their likeness, enabling them to demand the removal of unauthorized deepfake content and seek compensation.
While satire and parody are exempt, non-compliant platforms face fines. The law, expected to be finalized by late 2025 or early 2026, aims to protect digital identities and may influence other EU nations during Denmark’s upcoming EU presidency.
