When you use Canva's AI tools, the results you get may not be unique to you and could be generated for other users too; Canva does not guarantee AI outputs are accurate or suitable for your needs.

The non-uniqueness disclosure for AI-generated outputs means that designs or content created using Canva's AI features may be substantially identical to content generated for other users, which may create intellectual property or brand differentiation concerns for commercial users.
Interpretive note: The document references AI features generally without specifying which features are subject to these terms or how inputs are used for model training, creating ambiguity about the full scope of user obligations and data use.

How other platforms handle this
When you use AI features of the Services, you acknowledge that your inputs may be processed by third-party AI providers. ClickUp may use anonymized and aggregated data derived from your use of the Services to improve and train AI models and features.

"When you use AI-powered features of the Services, you may provide inputs and receive outputs. You are responsible for the inputs you provide and your use of any outputs. AI-generated outputs may not be unique and similar outputs may be generated for other users. Canva does not guarantee that AI-generated content is accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose.— Excerpt from Canva's Canva Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: AI feature disclosures engage the EU AI Act, which imposes transparency and documentation obligations on providers of certain AI systems, including generative AI tools. The FTC has issued guidance on AI-generated content and endorsement disclosure requirements. GDPR Article 22 may apply where AI outputs are used in automated decision-making affecting individuals. The UK's AI regulatory framework and Australia's emerging AI governance guidance are also relevant for users in those jurisdictions. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The disclaimer of accuracy and uniqueness for AI outputs, combined with user responsibility for inputs and outputs, creates a risk allocation structure that places significant burden on users in commercial or regulated contexts. Businesses using AI-generated content for marketing, legal, or compliance purposes should assess this risk allocation carefully. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU users should assess whether Canva's AI features qualify as high-risk AI systems under the EU AI Act, which would impose additional transparency and oversight obligations. The non-uniqueness of outputs may have implications for copyright registration and brand protection strategies in jurisdictions where AI-generated content is not eligible for copyright protection. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers using Canva's AI features for client-facing deliverables should assess whether the disclaimer of uniqueness and accuracy is compatible with client quality or exclusivity requirements. Vendor assessments should document which Canva AI features are used and the nature of inputs provided, as inputs may be used to improve Canva's models depending on applicable privacy and data processing terms. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should review Canva's AI-specific terms and privacy documentation to assess whether inputs to AI features are used for model training, and whether this use is consistent with user consent and data governance policies. Organizations in regulated industries should assess whether AI-generated outputs meet applicable accuracy and audit trail requirements before relying on them for compliance purposes.
