How Canva AI (Magic) is used

We see two common ways businesses use Canva AI (Magic), and we govern each one on its own terms. If your team uses it differently, that is fine: you describe the use in your own words and Certrak works out the governance from what it actually does.

Governing Canva AI (Magic) in practice

  1. Name one person who owns Canva AI (Magic) in your business. Governance starts with a name.
  2. Write down what Canva AI (Magic) is used for. Certrak recognises 2 common uses: Image, video, or design creation and Marketing content creation. Yours may differ; write down yours.
  3. Decide what Canva AI (Magic) may and may not be given. Internal business information is in scope, so name what stays out.
  4. Agree that a person reviews every output before it is used, and name who.
  5. Look at this again twice a year, and sooner on any of these: industry incidents and vendor model updates.
