Denmark has emerged as a pioneer in protecting citizens from AI-generated disinformation with a groundbreaking new law. Introduced in July 2025, the bill gives Danes copyright of their own faces, making it illegal to share deepfake images, videos, and audio recordings based on a real person without their consent.
The legislation comes as deepfake technology becomes increasingly sophisticated and accessible. Denmark is the first country to take such a comprehensive approach to the issue.
