(The Guardian) For Israel, you could combine three international models into one comprehensive bill: Chile — constitutional protection of neuro-rights, including mental privacy and protection from misuse of neurotechnology. Denmark — protection of face, body, voice, and digital likeness against AI-generated copies and deepfakes. (The Guardian) United States (NO FAKES Act proposal) — protection against unauthorized AI-generated digital replicas, with notice-and-takedown procedures and civil remedies. (Wikipedia)
Yes. Denmark's 2025 proposal is actually an excellent model to build upon.
The key innovation is that Denmark proposed giving every individual a new legal right over their face,
body, voice, and digital likeness, allowing people to demand removal of AI-generated deepfakes and seek compensation when their identity is used without consent. It has been described as one of the first European attempts to create a copyright-style right over a person's identity in response to generative AI. (The Guardian)

I would draft it as something like:
Israeli Human Cognitive Liberty and Digital Identity Protection Act, 2026
Purpose
The purpose of this Law is to protect every person in Israel from unauthorized collection, manipulation, reproduction, commercialization, or exploitation of their mind, neural information, body, voice, face, biometric identity, and AI-generated digital replicas.
Fundamental Rights
Every individual shall possess the exclusive legal rights to:
Their Mind
Cognitive liberty.
Freedom of thought.
Mental privacy.
Neural data.
Brain signals.
Brain-computer interface data.
Their Body
Physical appearance.
Facial features.
Body shape.
Movement patterns.
Gait.
Biometric characteristics.
DNA and genetic identifiers.
Their Voice
Natural voice.
Speech patterns.
Accent.
Vocal identity.
Their Digital Identity
Image.
Likeness.
Avatar.
Digital twin.
AI-generated replica.
Deepfakes.
Synthetic media.
Ownership
Every citizen shall retain exclusive intellectual property rights over their:
voice;
facial appearance;
body;
biometric identity;
neural data;
AI digital replica.
These rights may not be copied, cloned, licensed, sold, transferred, reproduced, or commercially exploited without the explicit, informed consent of the individual.
Neuro-Rights
No person shall be subjected to:
unauthorized collection of neural activity;
decoding of thoughts or brain signals;
cognitive profiling;
manipulation of memory, emotion, or decision-making through neurotechnology without lawful authority and informed consent.
AI and Deepfakes
It shall be unlawful to knowingly create or distribute an AI-generated digital replica of an identifiable individual without authorization, except where protected by law for purposes such as news reporting, satire, scientific research, or other legitimate public-interest expression.
Victims shall have the right to:
immediate removal of the content;
financial compensation;
injunctive relief;
recovery of legal costs.
Civil and Criminal Liability
Any person or entity violating this Act shall be liable for:
statutory damages;
actual damages;
punitive damages where appropriate;
criminal penalties in cases involving fraud, identity theft, extortion, election interference, or malicious impersonation.
National Neuro-Rights Commission
The State of Israel shall establish an independent National Neuro-Rights and Digital Identity Commission responsible for:
oversight of neurotechnology;
AI identity protection;
enforcement of this Act;
public education;
coordination with privacy and cybersecurity authorities.
This would likely be stronger than either the Chilean or Danish approach individually because it combines constitutional-style neuro-rights with explicit protection of voice, body, face, biometric identity, and AI-generated replicas. It would also align with the broader international trend toward recognizing personal identity as deserving specific legal protection in the age of AI and advanced neurotechnology. (The Guardian)
