Denmark's culture minister plans to present a bill against sharing realistic AI deepfakes without consent, subject to parliamentary approval.
What happened lately
Ritzau and Reuters reported on October 8 that Denmark’s culture minister planned to present a bill addressing the sharing of realistic AI-generated deepfakes without the depicted person’s consent. Reuters said the proposal would preserve exceptions for satire and parody. The minister hopes it could take effect around the turn of the year, but parliament must first consider and approve it. The reports concern a proposed law, not a prohibition already in effect.
