olis.oregonlegislature.govOregon SB 1571 — synthetic media in campaign communications

Why this status

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.

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 verify 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.
