Oregon Deepfakes law summary
Based on adjacent fraud, privacy, impersonation, or child-safety coverage.
Oregon's SB 1571 (2024 Regular Session, Chapter 62) requires political campaign communications using AI-generated or synthetic media to carry a disclosure, and sets civil penalties up to $10,000 for violations. The rule is squarely about campaign communications — Oregon hasn't enacted a broader rule covering deepfakes outside political contexts.

Why this status
Based on adjacent fraud, privacy, impersonation, or child-safety coverage.
What this means
- The protection is narrow but real: it covers AI-generated synthetic media in political campaign communications, not deepfakes in social feeds, group chats, or apps your kids use.
- Civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation give the rule teeth in campaign-finance enforcement — that's the law's main mechanism.
- For AI-fakes outside the campaign context — including content involving minors or private individuals — Oregon hasn't addressed those uses at the state level. Federal rules and platform policies are what apply to those gaps.
What to do next
- Read SB 1571 (Chapter 62, 2024) on the Oregon Legislative Information System for the exact definitions and the disclosure language.
- If you're concerned about a non-campaign use of an AI fake — in a school chat, an app, a private message — Oregon's SB 1571 isn't the relevant rule. Check federal protections and the platform's own policy instead.
