Key Requirement
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.
The most comprehensive US state AI law. As amended by SB 26-189 (2026) it takes effect January 1, 2027 and centers on transparency/disclosure for consequential automated decisions (the original algorithmic-discrimination duty of care was repealed). Attorney General rulemaking is underway; no final rules have been published yet.
