Context
OUR TAKE Figma has decided to temporarily disable its AI design tool because is too similar to Apple’s Weather app which can cause raise copyright issues. Moreover, Figma introduced other AI tools and provided the option for user data to be used for future model training, allowing users to choose whether or not to participate. -Rae Li, BTW reporter Figma , a popular online design collaboration platform, recently decided to temporarily suspend its AI design tool “Make Designs”. The decision was made after users discovered that the designs generated by the tool were very similar to Apple ’s Weather app. Figma’s VP Noah Levin noted in a company blog post that despite careful review of the design system during the development and private testing phases, new components and sample screens added in the week before the Config event were not adequately reviewed.
