Denmark Proposes Ban on Unsanctioned AI Deepfakes

Denmark wants to ban sharing AI deepfakes without consent.

A new bill was introduced on Thursday.

Culture Minister Zenia Stampe presented the proposal.

It protects your face and voice from digital copying.

The rule covers all residents in Denmark.

It also protects artists and public figures.

Social media sites must remove illegal deepfakes quickly.

Manipulated videos can spread misinformation easily.

Minister Stampe was targeted by a fake video herself.

Fake posts also targeted politician Karsten Hønge.

Satirical content will remain legal under the new proposal.

Courts will decide if content is satire or illegal manipulation.

The government hopes the law takes effect around New Year.
