Impact Summary

ElevenLabs restructured its Safety Principles section, removing detailed explanations of five safety principles (Safety by Design, Traceability & Accountability, Transparency, Agility, and Collaboration) and replacing them with a list format that names the principles without elaboration. The prior version described how each principle operated in practice; the updated version lists principle names and moves directly to a 'Our Safeguards' section describing friction against misuse.

What this means for you

The updated policy restructures how safety principles are presented but does not modify the operational safeguards themselves. The section that previously provided detailed explanations of how ElevenLabs traces generated content, maintains transparency about AI interaction, and responds to emerging threats has been reformatted into a list-based structure with principle names only. The 'Our Safeguards' section that follows remains substantially the same.

Key Clauses Affected

Safety Principles section

Restructured from detailed principle descriptions to principle names only, with operational details removed.

Our Safeguards section
