ElevenLabs revised its Safety Policy on August 28, 2026, restructuring and expanding the presentation of its five core safety principles: Safety by Design, Traceability & Accountability, Transparency, Agility, and Collaboration. The updated language adds explicit operational descriptions of how each principle functions in practice—such as rigorous pre-release model evaluations, content traceability systems designed to detect abuse while preserving user privacy, and cross-functional safety team coordination. The change clarifies ElevenLabs' stated approach to AI safety governance but does not introduce new binding obligations on users.
