Imagen: Google AI system capable of Generating Images from a Description
Google has an AI that creates stunning images of what you write!
Google Brain researchers have just published a demonstration of Imagen, an artificial Intelligence capable of generating images from a simple description with unprecedented photorealism.
DeepMind isn’t the only team at Google working on artificial intelligence. There’s also Google Brain, which is part of Google AI, which also specializes in deep learning. Brain Team researchers have just unveiled Imagen, an AI capable of generating photorealistic images from text. The project is very similar to OpenAI’s DALL-E 2, which was presented just over a month ago. Enter a description of the image you want, even a crazy one like a brain flying to the moon on a rocket, and the AI will generate the appropriate image. A demonstration of Imagen, giving you several options to choose from.
Google ResearchAI research faces ethical issues
To assess Imagen’s performance, researchers compared Imagen to DALL-E 2 as well as other similar models using their own DrawBench assessment tool. They created a series of 200 descriptions in 11 categories that were used for each of the different models. The images obtained were then submitted to 25 volunteers for each category, who had to rate them on two criteria: the quality of the image and its correspondence to the description. In both cases, participants overwhelmingly preferred Imagen.
The tool is not available to the general public for ethical reasons. Researchers uploaded a simple demonstration that gives you multiple options to choose from, but nothing more. In addition to the risks of misuse and the possible effects of such a tool, the researchers wanted to point out the problems of the databases used, which consist of unmoderated public images. Thus, datasets of this type often reflect social stereotypes, oppressive perspectives, and associations that belittle or harm marginalized groups.
