Key Requirement
Minnesota's Consumer Data Privacy Act lets consumers opt out of profiling and automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, question the result of a profiling decision and learn how to change future outcomes, and requires controllers to complete data-protection assessments. No standalone Minnesota 'AI Transparency Act' exists.
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.
