THE Danish government recently proposed a landmark law that grants individuals legal ownership over their face, voice and body. Once enacted, this law will allow Danish citizens to request the removal of AI-generated deepfake content shared without their consent and to seek compensation for any harm caused.
Malaysia, along with the wider Asean region, should view this development seriously. This is not merely a copyright issue; it is a matter of protecting personal identity, national security and public trust as the threat posed by deepfake technology is real and growing.
