Denmark Moves to Ban Unauthorized AI Deepfakes and Voice Cloning

Residents in Denmark may soon gain strong legal protections against deepfakes and AI voice cloning. The Danish Ministry of Culture has introduced a draft bill banning unauthorized AI representations. The proposed law covers both public figures and ordinary residents.

Under the draft law, copying a person's face without consent is illegal. Cloning someone's voice without permission will also be prohibited. Victims will receive clear rights to demand immediate takedowns of fake AI content.

This legislation offers vital legal protection against digital identity theft and online fraud. International students, workers, and families in Denmark can use these rights against scams. According to AI Policy Desk, the draft bill establishes robust rules for platform takedowns.
