Figma co-founder and CEO Dylan Field said Thursday that artificial intelligence doesn't pose a serious threat to the future of the design software company, which is on the verge of debuting on the public markets.
"We're in this moment where you might, if you're singularity-pilled, go, 'Hey, superintelligence is coming and it'll be able to do things that no human can do," Field told CNBC's "Squawk Box." "I have a harder time believing that we're going to approach that really quickly right now, but that doesn't mean it's out of the picture."
Figma is slated to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "FIG" on Thursday. Last week, the company estimated that it would price shares in the range of $25 to $28, and on Wednesday it priced above that range at $33 a share.
The offering values Figma, which ranked No. 45 on this year's CNBC Disruptor 50 list, at $19.3 billion.
The company was supposed to be acquired by Adobe for $20 billion, but the deal was scrapped in December 2023 after regulators objected.
