Global Banking & Finance Review reports that Denmark’s culture minister, Zenia Stampe, plans to propose a bill on 8 October to ban sharing AI-generated deepfakes without consent. The proposal would cover digital copying and sharing of lifelike representations of a person’s appearance or voice.
Stampe said manipulated images and videos could spread misinformation and create doubt about what is real. She said one of the bill’s main aims was to get major technology companies to remove manipulated content quickly, limiting the harm it could cause.
The proposed protection would extend to the public and to artists, whose performances and work could not be imitated and then shared. Caricature, parody and satire would be exempt, as would work critical of society or people in power. The proposal is subject to parliamentary approval. Stampe hopes the bill will enter into force around the turn of the year.
