Is Denmark Leading Europe in the Fight Against Deepfakes?
Recent roundtable on the proposed legislation in Denmark, which would extend "image rights" to personality traits and create a right to "own" one's own personal traits.
Julia Hörnle, CCLS Professor in Internet Law and our alumna has recently appeared on TV on TRT's Roundtable titled "Is Denmark leading Europe in the fight against Deepfakes?" Julia commented: "The discussion included the proposed legislation in Denmark which would extend "image rights" to personality traits and create a right to "own" one's own personal traits (image, voice) - to prevent their exploitation in non-consensual deepfakes. Is this the way to protect against exploitative deepfakes? Thank you to the wonderful presenter Enda Brady and my co-guests Jane Mather and Adam Firestone. Enjoy!"
