Denmark is currently considering changing its laws so that each Dane would have copyright over their own appearance and voice. The Danish approach is novel because it creates a [[w:Right to property|w:property right]] in one’s biometric identity, treating voice/appearance like [[w:intellectual property]], whereas the previous legislative steps elsewhere have been harms-based.

|quote      = The Danish culture minister, Jakob Engel-Schmidt, said he hoped the bill before parliament would send an “unequivocal message” that everybody had the right to the way they looked and sounded. He told the Guardian: “In the bill we agree and are sending an unequivocal message that everybody has the right to their own body, their own voice and their own facial features, which is apparently not how the current law is protecting people against generative AI.”
