Denmark to tackle deepfakes by giving people copyright to their own features

Source: Guardian

The Danish government is to clamp down on the creation and dissemination of AI-generated deepfakes by changing copyright law to ensure that everybody has the right to their own body, facial features and voice.

-snip-

The changes to Danish copyright law will, once approved, theoretically give people in Denmark the right to demand that online platforms remove such content if it is shared without consent.

It will also cover “realistic, digitally generated imitations” of an artist’s performance without consent. Violation of the proposed rules could result in compensation for those affected.

The government said the new rules would not affect parodies and satire, which would still be permitted.

like this. Not that it isn’t an important concern, but we’re caught up in basic existential crap.

something that happens on the street and posts it online.

Can anyone who was caught passing by with your camera have it removed, or even sue for using their image without permission?

This may be creating more problems than it solves.

inalienable rights in order to combat the fact that AI is still completely fucking unregulated in this country, and the GOP have a fucking insane provision in this bill to effectively keep it that way forever if states want federal funding.

In 5 months we've gone so far down the fascist rabbit hole that it's absurd.
