The technology is designed to be responsible, with robust guardrails in place to mitigate potential risks. It is integrated with SynthID, a toolkit for watermarking and identifying AI-generated content. Safety measures have been put in place to limit problematic outputs and comprehensive safety filters are applied to avoid generating potentially problematic content. The technology is continuously evaluated for safety as its capabilities and launches expand.
Key takeaways:
- Imagen 2 is an advanced text-to-image diffusion technology developed by Google, capable of generating high-quality, photorealistic images based on user prompts.
- The technology has been improved to better understand the relationship between images and words, increasing its understanding of context and nuance. It has also been enhanced to generate more realistic images, particularly of hands and human faces.
- Imagen 2 offers image editing capabilities like 'inpainting' and 'outpainting', allowing users to generate new content directly into the original image or extend the original image beyond its borders.
- Google has implemented robust safety measures to mitigate potential risks and challenges of the technology, including watermarking and identifying AI-generated content, and applying safety checks to training data, input prompts, and system-generated outputs.
