As a freelancer or an agency, the NDA you signed with your clients likely forbids you from sharing their data with third parties. Allowing Figma to train on your files could fall into this category. Yes, Figma says they will only use data in a de-identified and aggregated way to protect your privacy, but allowing training can still be considered as sharing clients' data with a third party.
The legal complexity becomes nuanced especially for freelancers who are bound by NDAs. AI training on designs created under an NDA raises critical questions about copyright ownership and the permissibility of sharing client data.
While full-time employees may not worry about these legal intricacies since their corporate accounts handle the risks, freelancers must be vigilant about how their work is potentially utilized by tools like Figma AI.
It is essential for designers to understand the implications of AI training on their work, especially in terms of copyright ownership. The landscape is shifting, and opting out may not always be an option.
