Figma Faces Class Action Over Alleged AI Training with User Designs
A class action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court alleges Figma harvested user designs, LAYER properties, and text to train AI tools without consent. The complaint claims this data misuse contributed to Figma's valuation surge during its $1.2 billion IPO.
Figma denies the allegations, stating it only uses customer data with permission and removes identifying details. The case highlights growing tensions between tech companies' AI development and creators' intellectual property rights.
