Google has re-enabled its Gemini AI’s ability to generate images of people, a feature previously paused due to concerns over inaccuracies and potential misuse. The update leverages the Imagen 3 model, which incorporates enhanced safeguards to ensure safer and more accurate image generation.
These safeguards include strict limitations on the types of images that can be created, such as prohibiting the generation of photorealistic depictions of identifiable individuals, minors, or any harmful content. Google’s focus with this update is on improving reliability while maintaining high ethical standards in AI-generated content.
Alongside this reactivation, Google has introduced “Gems,” customizable chatbot templates designed for specific tasks, allowing users to tailor the AI’s output to their needs. These updates reflect Google’s commitment to advancing AI technology responsibly, addressing past concerns, and enhancing user experience through controlled, precise, and safe generative tools.
The restoration of this feature signifies Google’s confidence in the improved safety measures, ensuring that the technology can be used creatively without compromising ethical standards.
