Figma plans to train its AI models using private user data starting August 15, opting users in by default. This move has generated excitement among users, contrasting sharply with the backlash Adobe faced for similar AI strategies. Figma's approach aims to enhance design processes and capabilities, but it has raised privacy concerns. Unlike Adobe, which explicitly refrains from using user content for AI training, Figma's policy applies to all users except those on enterprise plans.
Adobe has never trained their generative AI on user content: and made this stance formal in their latest T&C updates. It is very odd to see that Figma, *by default* trains on their customer data (aka work designers do in their tool.) Only enterprise plans have this turned off. https://t.co/PEXsLW3Duc

On August 15, Figma will opt their users into training AI models by default. This should not be allowed. No one signed up to Figma with this in mind, and most people won’t realise they can opt out. https://t.co/Y9DCeWPqfK https://t.co/ATSPd5asKj
