Denmark has introduced a bill aimed at banning the sharing of AI-generated deepfakes without consent, affecting both ordinary citizens and artists. The bill, proposed by Culture Minister Zenia Stampe, seeks to protect individuals from unauthorized digital imitations of their faces and voices, which can spread misinformation and cause harm. It includes exceptions for satire and political criticism, provided they do not constitute serious misinformation. The legislation follows a political agreement from June 2025 and aims to compel tech companies to swiftly remove illegal content. The bill is pending parliamentary approval and is expected to take effect in early 2027. Denmark's initiative aligns with global efforts to address the rise of AI-generated content, although it is not bound by EU regulations on similar matters.
