Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

PURPOSE : Fir 2 weider Rehazentren am Land, am Norden een an am Süden vu Lëtzebuerg

PURPOSE : pour les personnes qui n'ont pas droit au REVIS en raison de la composition de leur ménage, qui ne trouvent actuellement pas du travail et n'ont pas de droit aux allocations de chômage pour les personnes qui ne sont plus autorisées à travailler pour des raisons de santé mais qui n'ont pas droit à une pension d'invalidité parce que, par ex. il leur manque quelques mois de cotisation et qu'elles ne peuvent pas se permettre d'acheter des périodes d'assurance supplémentaires et n'ont pas encore atteint l'âge de 65 ans

PURPOSE : Generative artificial intelligence is profoundly transforming our relationship with image, voice, and identity. Today, tools easily accessible to the general public can create hyper-realistic representations of existing individuals - videos, voices, or photographs - without their consent. These contents, known as deepfakes, reproduce a person's appearance, voice, or gestures for purposes that are often malicious, commercial, or defamatory. The current Luxembourg legal framework - based on image rights and the protection of personal data - does not provide sufficient safeguards in this context. While it recognizes an individual's right to refuse the unauthorized dissemination of their image, it does not grant an exclusive property right comparable to that of an author over their work. This petition seeks to fill that legal gap by establishing a "citizen copyright": an exclusive, personal, and inalienable right granted to every citizen over their face, voice, and visual identity. This new right, positioned at the intersection of image rights and copyright law, would guarantee each person full control and ownership of their digital representation in the age of artificial intelligence. Concretely, this citizen copyright would allow any individual to: 1) Authorize or prohibit the use of their image, voice, or likeness by generative AI tools; 2) Request the immediate removal of any content generated without consent; 3) Receive compensation in cases of unauthorized commercial exploitation; 4) Require digital platforms to promptly remove infringing content, under penalty of sanctions; 5) Benefit from clear legal recognition of their exclusive right to their own digital image. This citizen copyright would become a new pillar of the right to digital integrity, ensuring that a person's face, voice, and appearance remain their intellectual property. It would offer concrete protection against the creation and dissemination of AI-generated content imitating real individuals without consent. Inspired by the model recently proposed by Denmark, this initiative would place Luxembourg at the forefront of human rights protection in the digital era. Denmark has indeed proposed legislation granting each citizen copyright over their image, voice, and body in order to combat deepfakes. By adapting this approach to the Luxembourgish legal framework, our country could formally recognize that visual and vocal identity form part of each person's inalienable personal heritage, just like their personal data. The objectives of this petition are therefore clear: 1) To create a citizen copyright protecting every individual against the digital usurpation or manipulation of their image; 2) To prohibit deepfakes and unauthorized AI-generated uses; 3) To legally define the responsibility of online platforms; 4) To strengthen citizens' digital sovereignty and dignity. This unprecedented right, grounded in the person rather than artistic creation, would represent a major democratic step forward - establishing each citizen as both the author and guardian of their own digital identity.
