Denmark has made a breakthrough by recognizing its citizens' intellectual property rights over their faces and voices in an effort to curb the problem of deepfakes , the manipulation of voices, images, and videos using artificial intelligence.
"We are now sending a clear message to all citizens that they have the right to their own bodies, voices and facial features," Danish Culture Minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt was quoted as saying in a Diversity News broadcast.
Copyright regulations that allow citizens to patent their faces and voices are expected to curb the use of deepfakes for criminal purposes.
This kind of protection is especially important in an era where artificial intelligence makes it easy to digitally copy human identities.
