Key Requirement
Employers must notify employees when AI assists in hiring, reviews, promotions, or discipline, and may not use AI that discriminates against protected classes (including via ZIP-code proxies).
Oregon has not enacted a comprehensive AI law. Its one binding AI statute, SB 1571 (2024), requires disclosure of AI-generated 'synthetic media' in campaign communications (up to $10,000 per instance). An AI Task Force report and 2024 Attorney General guidance apply existing consumer-protection and privacy law to AI but are not new binding rules.
