What to Watch for With Generative AI Liability in Oregon

  • Oregon’s new intimate-image language focuses on realistic depictions

    The 2025 amendment includes a digitally created, manipulated, or altered depiction that is reasonably realistic. Review the exact definition and other elements in ORS 163.472; synthetic status alone does not establish the offense. 1

  • The disclosure offense still has intent and harm conditions

    Oregon’s intimate-image law requires the statute’s specified lack of consent, mental state, and harm elements. Distinguish those facts from a general failure to label generated media, which is addressed separately in campaign communications. 1

  • Campaign synthetic media must carry the statutory disclosure

    ORS 260.665 defines synthetic media as intentionally manipulated realistic but false media that produces the specified effect, and requires a disclosure in campaign communications containing it. Preserve versions of the ad and the disclosure shown with each distribution. 2
