Transparency and accountability ๐
ElevenLabs voice cloning technology raises several concerns regarding transparency and accountability:
Data collection. ElevenLabs' data collection policies and practices are not clearly disclosed, making it difficult to understand what data is being collected, how it is being used, and with whom it is being shared.
Usage guidelines. ElevenLabs does not provide clear guidelines on the acceptable use of the technology, which can lead to misuse and potential harm.
Complaints and appeals. ElevenLabs does not provide clear mechanisms for reporting concerns or issues related to the technology, making it difficult for users to hold the company accountable.
Misuse responsibility. It is unclear who is responsible for misuse of the technology, which can lead to a lack of accountability and diffuse responsibility.
Risks and harms ๐
ElevenLabs TTS has been criticised for generating inappropriate and offensive content, and misinformation and disinformation, and for causing political and reputational damage.
It has also been singled out for its ability to be misused for fraud and violate privacy.
