(Reuters) -Alphabet said on Wednesday it has updated Gemini's AI image-creation model and would roll out the generation of visuals of people in the coming days, after months-long pause of the capability.
Google had paused its AI tool that creates images of people in February, following inaccuracies in some historical depictions generated by the model.
The company said it has worked to improve the product, adhere to "product principles" and simulated situations to find weaknesses.
The company was forced to pause its AI image generator tool after its mistakes with historical figures. Many people were unimpressed with the results that Google’s Gemini AI image generator offered, which has not only made the company sit up and stop its availability but also admit the mistakes that have been made.
Google’s Prabhakar Raghavan explained the issue and highlighted the worrying concerns that AI still poses for the world. He said that the AI tool found it hard to differentiate between a wide range of people, and the AI model became extra cautious to avoid any major lapses and be offensive to anyone. “These two things led the model to overcompensate in some cases, and be over-conservative in others, leading to images that were embarrassing and wrong.”
For instance, AI cannot mix up the characters of German soldiers from the World War and give them a different ethnicity. The fact that Google’s parent company is offering the AI image generation feature once again suggests it is satisfied with the results and now happy for the public to give it a shot.
