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

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. The Danish government said on Thursday it would strengthen protection against digital imitations of people's identities with what it believes to be the first law of its kind in Europe. Having secured broad cross-party agreement, the department of culture plans to submit a proposal to amend the current law for consultation before the summer recess and then submit the amendment in the autumn. It defines a deepfake as a very realistic digital representation of a person, including their appearance and voice. 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.' He added: 'Human beings can be run through the digital copy machine and be misused for all sorts of purposes and I'm not willing to accept that.' The move, which is believed to have the backing of nine in 10 MPs, comes amid rapidly developing AI technology that has made it easier than ever to create a convincing fake image, video or sound to mimic the features of another person. 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.

Other European countries, he hopes, will follow Denmark's lead. He plans to use Denmark's forthcoming EU presidency to share its plans with his European counterparts. If tech platforms do not respond accordingly to the new law, they could be subject to 'severe fines', he said, and it could become a matter for the European Commission. 'That is why I believe the tech platforms will take this very seriously indeed,' he added.

The character supposedly left town to stay with his mother Anna Windass (Debbie Rush) amid a blackmail attempt by Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty).

Coronation Street's Gary Windass left fighting for his life as soap FINALLY reveals what happened to 'missing' villager - and Maria is left 'spiralling'

Coronation Street 's Gary Windass is left fighting for his life as the soap finally reveals what happened to the 'missing' villager - leaving Maria 'spiralling'. The mystery began on the ITV soap when the builder (Mikey North) left Weatherfield, supposedly to stay with his mother for a while. It was to escape neighbour Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty) blackmailing him, after she leant in and kissed him recently, leaving him stunned. She promised she would keep quiet about the kiss - including to Gary's partner Maria (Samia Longchambon) - as long as 'he did what she said', with her exact motive unclear. Gary and Maria are in a rough spot in their relationship at the moment so when he left town for a mysterious reason, she was upset but quickly brushed it off. But when he did not return for her son Liam's (Charlie Wrenshall) birthday, alarm bells started ringing in her head as she wondered where he had gone. And Friday's episode will reveal he has not left town at all - but is actually in a coma at Weatherfield General, fighting for his life, with his family and friends totally unaware. The revelation comes after Maria gets so worried for Gary's safety, she reports him as a missing person to police detective Kit Green (Jacob Roberts). It is then she discovers from him there is an unidentified coma patient at the local hospital. Kit assures Maria it is not Gary - but it is a sign even he has been taken in by Gary's mystery attacker. It turns out the reason why no one knows Gary is at the hospital is the unknown criminal has tried to cover their tracks by giving the wrong name for him and claiming to be his next of kin. As Gary remains in critical condition, the upcoming episodes will unravel how he ended up in hospital - and exactly who put him there. Samia, who plays Maria, said: 'Maria and Gary are going through a bit of a rough patch at the minute and initially, she's upset that he's left but doesn't think too much into it. 'As soon as Gary misses Liam's birthday, she has a gut feeling that something isn't right and fears something awful might have happened to him. 'Maria's mind is spiralling but she doesn't stop for a second to think who actually attacked Gary. 'She's aware he has a lot of enemies from over the years who could have potentially wanted to take revenge on him.' For instance, Gary had a violent fight with Lou's villainous husband Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) just weeks ago. It came after he discovered Mick had terrified his stepson Liam by leaving him locked in a cabinet for hours during an attempted practical joke in the builder's yard. Gary was furious, confronting Mick, who soon found himself fired. But he is not one to go down without a fight and soon warned Gary he would regret giving him the push out of the yard. He soon confronted Gary on the street, where the pair had a bloody brawl in broad daylight, which nearly ended with Mick being bottled before Kit stepped in. It comes after Gary made a shock return to the cobbles earlier this year, after a long time off our screens. The character had not been seen on the soap since January, which left fans baffled at the time - his absence was not explained and no plot point was created to justify it. Maria had also been missing from recent episodes. But they both came back at the end of April, with Gary telling Maria he wants to sell his shop and buy the builder's yard in Weatherfield to start afresh - which she is not convinced is a good plan. Fans were shocked and delighted to see Gary's return, taking to X to express their astonishment. One said, 'I'd forgotten what he looked like', while someone else commented, 'A rare Gary sighting!' Another added: 'Gary's here too?! Did they finally find the key to the cupboard they've been keeping all these characters in?' Someone else said: 'Oh wow, Gary Windass is still alive? I forgot about him.' Last month, avid fans of the soap had questioned where he was on X, with three posing the exact same question, 'Where is Gary Windass?', with another adding: 'Really need his storyline.' Someone else commented: 'Hmm Corrie mysteries... Gary and Maria have been AWOL for months. Is there a Bermuda Triangle corner in Weatherfield?' Fans were worried the lack of explanation meant the couple were going to be quietly written out of the show - but their fears will have been alleviated by their surprise return.
