Canva's cofounder explains why the company isn't forcing employees to use a specific AI tool

Canva cofounder Cameron Adams said mandating an AI tool for staff to use doesn't work. Bloomberg/Getty Images Canva's cofounder said that making staff use a single AI tool, like Claude or Gemini, is the wrong move. Employees will use the tool "begrudgingly," he said, which hinders experimentation. Canva staff are given a budget to use on whichever tool fits their workflows, Cameron Adams said. Canva cofounder Cameron Adams said there's one way to get your employees to stop caring about AI: forcing them to use a specific AI tool. Speaking in an interview with Rapid Response , released on Tuesday, Adams said his staff can choose whichever AI tool they want. The interview was filmed during the Cannes Lions festival last month. "So, we're not mandating Claude or ChatGPT or Gemini or whatever tool you want to use in your part of the company," Adams said.
