Salesforce publicly states it is developing AI products with a focus on human oversight and ethical use, and references a dedicated ethical and humane use policy, though the specific contractual commitments are in linked sub-documents.
This analysis describes what Salesforce's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
As Salesforce deploys autonomous AI agents in customer workflows, the governance frameworks and contractual terms governing AI behavior, data use, and liability become material for organizations evaluating or using these products.
Interpretive note: The AI-related content on this page is editorial and navigational rather than contractual; the operative AI governance obligations would be in the linked customer agreements and ethical use policy, which are not reproduced in this document.
Customers using Salesforce AI products such as autonomous agents should review the ethical and humane use policy and the applicable customer agreement to understand how AI-processed data is handled and what liability protections apply if AI outputs cause harm or errors.

"How Salesforce Builds Trust in Our AI Products. Salesforce is taking steps to ensure AI is trusted and reliable by empowering humans at the helm through product design. Autonomous AI Agents Are Coming: Why Trust and Training Hold the Keys to Their Success.— Excerpt from Salesforce's Salesforce Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Salesforce's references to AI trust and autonomous agents engage the EU AI Act, which imposes transparency, human oversight, and risk classification requirements on AI systems used in the EU/EEA. The FTC has also issued guidance on AI-related unfair or deceptive practices. Depending on the sector in which Salesforce AI is deployed, additional frameworks such as sector-specific financial services AI guidance or healthcare data regulations may apply. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The page discloses that autonomous AI agents are being deployed in customer workflows and that Salesforce has an ethical use framework, but the operative contractual terms governing AI liability, data use, and human oversight obligations are not reproduced here. Organizations using Salesforce AI products should evaluate whether existing agreements adequately address AI-specific risk allocation. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA organizations face heightened exposure under the EU AI Act, which may classify certain autonomous agent deployments as high-risk AI systems requiring conformity assessments, transparency obligations, and human oversight mechanisms. US organizations should monitor FTC guidance on AI accountability and consider whether sector-specific regulations impose additional AI governance requirements. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams evaluating Salesforce AI products should request the applicable AI-specific terms, assess whether customer agreements include AI liability allocation provisions, and evaluate whether the ethical and humane use policy creates enforceable obligations or is a statement of intent. The reference to autonomous agents suggests Salesforce products may now involve AI making decisions with operational consequences, raising the stakes for contractual risk allocation. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations should map their Salesforce AI product use cases against the EU AI Act risk classification framework, review Salesforce's published ethical use policy for operational commitments, and assess whether their own AI governance policies require vendor attestations or contractual AI use restrictions. The reference to human oversight as a design principle should be verified against actual product documentation.
