Didn't that already exist as the right to one's own image?
At least here in Spain such righ is mentioned in section 18.1 of the the Constitution from 1978 and was developed by a law in 1982 banning the capture, reproduction, use or publication by photograph, film, or any other means of a person's voice or image.
I would expect similar laws to exist in other countries. Having control of your own image and not allowing anyome to take your voice and image and make their own public use of them seems like a pretty basic right to not be regulated already before GenAI appeared.
Actually, targeting it just to GenAI and framing it as intellectual property or copyright sounds quite limited. Do you mean that as long as I don't use it for GenAI or use it for purposes not covered by copyright I can still publicly use your image in Denmark? I wouldn't expect so. The right one's own image is rooted in human dignity, privacy, and autonomy, which go beyond what a copyright law can protect.
