#2It looks like a solid set of updates. A lot of designers seem worried, but I’m not sure they need to be. It was always the case you could get prebuilt templates and the like, but companies still prefer to have professional designers. I imagine it’ll make prototyping much faster

#3Watching the keynote, the feature where it spits out a design based on a prompt seems like a gimmick. If it doesn't work with MY design system (as opposed to curated design systems like MUI or Bootstrap or whatever) then it's useless. It's also probably not ready to design complex applications, as opposed to brochure websites and apps that fit into very common templates.
The AI-powered search features seem really promising, as finding the right design file is a problem I face every day. What they showed was the ability to paste a screenshot (e.g. from production) and have it find where that design came from, or use a text search to do the same. That's something that'll make me squeal with joy if it actually works.
Filling in mock data in designs is also a big potential quality of life improvement. The domain I work in is so specific that I'm not sure it'll be of practical use to me, but I'm hopeful.
All in all, I'm glad about the parts where they are trying to target some specific pain points with AI, skeptical about the rest.

#4Every AI tool being released by 3rd parties is being blacklisted by my company. The primary reasoning is around sharing data with tool itself. On the other hand, if my clients allow them, there’s a long review and approval process followed by continuous audits.
Is anyone else running into this at their companies? I look at these tools and get excited but I’m continuously being blocked from using for work.

My organization is kind of just not talking about AI tools and the obvious risks. We've gotten neither a ban nor an all-clear, leaving us to use it according to our own judgment and not talk about it very much. I think more companies are in this boat, and while I understand your frustration, your company is making the wiser move (although it may bite them; some of the more reckless companies will die for their carelessness but others will survive and pull ahead faster).

I saw this in a few of my friends' companies. I have asked to everyone how is storing data in Azure is better than using Azure ChatGPT API, and till now I haven't been able to get a good answer.

This. If you don't trust your provider when it says it won't use data you embed in your LLM API Calls, why do you trust them when you use any of their other services?

#8All that page demonstrates is that Figma facilitates a lot of design features that have no utility for the user.

That's like asking why is it ok the use AWS to host my containers but it's not ok to leave company files in some other guy's S3 bucket.

My very large corporation is 100% all in on Figma, but has recently blocked several tools and have signaled (through meetings and memo's) that their AI tools will also be blocked.
As an aside, I work in accessibility and our team started using some AI and automated tools to do some A11Y testing and much of the functionality has been blocked. We were really interested in the companies mobile testing tool but now we won't be able to use that because of the network restrictions.
I've also heard complaints from Devs who said GitHub Copilot has also been blocked and they've been in discussions with the security team to try and get approved, but no luck thus far, they're not budging on allowing it yet.
So you're right, its not just one app or tool, companies are staring to block this stuff wholesale across their orgs.
