Building Figma AI

Figma AI is a set of features aimed at enhancing efficiency and creativity in design work. The AI tools are developed using third-party AI models, not trained on private Figma files or customer data. Data privacy and security are prioritized, with encryption of data at rest and in transit, strict access controls, and limitations on third-party data usage. Content data sharing with Figma for AI model training is optional, with admins having control over content training settings. Usage data is used in an aggregated, de-identified manner to protect privacy. Admins can manage AI settings, including access to AI features and content training. Figma ensures that generative models do not output designs on Community files without clear attribution guidelines. The platform uses public, free Community files for specific improvements and does not utilize paid files for AI model training. Overall, Figma AI aims to empower users with AI-driven tools while safeguarding data privacy and security.

We recently announced a beta for AI features in Figma Design. In this email, we are sharing our approach to building AI features and what's next.

To improve these features, we plan to start training AI models to understand design concepts, patterns, file structure, and tooling in Figma. Learn more about how your team can manage AI and our other updates below.

Team admins can control how their teams use AI with two new settings for each team they manage:

• Whether your team can use AI features (on by default for Starter and Professional teams).

• Whether content is shared for AI training (on by default for Starter and Professional teams).

AI features and content training are optional. Teams can use AI features, even if content training is turned off. Read how to access your AI settings here.

The content training setting goes into effect on August 15th, 2024. If an admin turns off content training after that, new content and edits will not be used to train AI models.

The key updates to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy do the following:

• Allow Figma to use your team's content to improve AI features, when content training is set to 'on'

•Clarify that you retain your rights to content inputted into Figma AI and to the results generated

These new terms will go into effect on August 15, 2024. By continuing to use Figma, including keeping your files with us, you agree to these terms.

If you'd like to read more about Figma's approach to AI, please visit our website. Thank you for using Figma.

Being so visual and using a binary file format, Figma is a great test case in the limits of current gen LLMs. I imagine that in the medium term they will move towards relatively novel approaches rather than the finer tuned LLMs that they are presumably using right now.

They have a billion dollars to put to work after all.

I look forward to a (updated) version of this blog post.
