Denmark is making history. It’s set to become the first EU country to give people copyright over their own faces, voices, and likenesses—a bold move in the fight against deepfakes and AI misuse.
In this episode, I explain what this landmark legislation means, why Denmark is leading the charge, and how it could shape the future of digital identity and AI regulation across Europe.
You’ll learn:
- Why the Danish Parliament has broad support for this move
- How it will empower citizens to remove unauthorised deepfakes
- What protections and exceptions the law provides
- How platforms like Meta, TikTok, and YouTube could be held accountable
- Whether this could become an EU-wide standard
