How Figma’s alleged AI training practices may have caused harm
Figma users invest substantial time, skill and creativity into the work they create on the platform. For many creators, how that work is used — and whether they agreed to that use — can have significant personal and professional implications.
- Loss of Control Over Creative Work: Designs, prototypes, project files and other original content created in Figma may represent valuable intellectual property. If that work was used to train AI systems without permission, users may have lost control over how their creative output was used and who ultimately benefited from it.
- Privacy Violations: If account data was used to train AI systems without users’ knowledge or consent, individuals may have been deprived of the ability to control how their information was used and shared, potentially putting personal information at risk.

Why AI lawsuits are on the rise
As AI tools become everyday essentials, the race to develop them has intensified — and so has the legal scrutiny. A growing number of AI lawsuits are targeting data collection and privacy violations related to AI training. For example:
- Apple has faced scrutiny over the alleged misuse of published books
- Grammarly has face claims of misappropriating creative identities of influential figures
- Grok has been accused of sharing data and chats with third parties
Many of these cases raise questions about:
- Whether companies clearly disclosed that user data and content could be used to train AI systems.
- Whether users were given a meaningful opportunity to opt out.
- Whether the use of personal information and creative work for AI development requires informed consent.
- Whether users should be compensated when their content helps develop commercial AI products.
Courts and regulators are still working through many of these issues.
