Governing Canva AI (Magic) in practice
- Name one person who owns Canva AI (Magic) in your business. Governance starts with a name.
- 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.
- Decide what Canva AI (Magic) may and may not be given. Internal business information is in scope, so name what stays out.
- Agree that a person reviews every output before it is used, and name who.
- Look at this again twice a year, and sooner on any of these: industry incidents and vendor model updates.
