Denmark to Grant Copyright-Like Rights Over Face, Voice and Body to Fight AI Deepfakes

Summary
Denmark is finalising a legal reform that would give citizens copyright-like control over their face, voice and body, creating a new tool against AI-generated deepfakes.
The proposal would let people demand removal of synthetic images, video or audio made without consent and seek compensation if platforms fail to act.
By treating personal identity as a form of protected intellectual property, the measure pushes digital-rights law beyond traditional copyright into AI-era identity protection.
Denmark still plans exceptions for satire and journalism, underscoring an effort to curb abuse without blocking legitimate expression.
