Google Gemini Will Let You Create AI-Generated People Again

Google is letting users create images of people through its Gemini AI chatbot again after pulling the feature earlier this year amid reports of historically inaccurate depictions, such as racially diverse Nazis. advertisementGoogle says it will roll out an early access version of this capability to Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise users in English “in the coming days.”

This update will be powered by Imagen 3, the latest version of Google’s AI text-to-image tool. Google quietly launched Imagen 3 through its AI Test Kitchen earlier this month, and it’s now available in Gemini in all languages. The updated tool is capable of generating anything from realistic landscapes to ornate oil paintings with a description of “just a few words.”

This shouldn’t be confused with Google’s new Remagine feature, which lets you incorporate AI elements into photos taken on the company’s new Pixel 9 lineup.

Additionally, Gemini won’t allow users to create realistic images of public figures; content that includes minors; or scenes of gore, violence, or sexual content. “Of course, not every image Gemini creates will be perfect, but we’ll continue to listen to feedback from Gemini Advanced users in early access as we continue to improve,” Citron adds. Google plans to expand the ability to create AI-generated people to more users and languages ​​soon.
