Google launches Imagen 2 that will help users create AI images, hopes to beat Midjourney and Dall-E

In exciting news, Google has introduced a brand new and much improved version of its picture-making technology called Imagen 2. This advanced tool helps turn words into pictures and is now available for special customers using Vertex AI, which is a part of Google Cloud.

This upgraded Imagen 2 brings amazing features that allow people to create even better images using text. It has been made using some very smart technology from Google DeepMind, which has made the quality of the images much better than before

"Today, we're sharing a significant upgrade to Google Cloud's image-generation capabilities with Imagen 2, our most advanced text-to-image technology, which is now generally available for Vertex AI customers on the allowlist (i.e., approved for access).Imagen 2 on Vertex AI allows our customers to customize and deploy Imagen 2 with intuitive tooling, fully-managed infrastructure, and built-in privacy and safety features. Developed using Google DeepMind technology, Imagen 2 delivers significantly improved image quality and a host of features that enable developers to create images for their specific use case," Google said in a blog post.

Here are some cool things it can do:

–Make really nice and clear pictures from words you tell it.
–Write words in different languages accurately on pictures.
–Create logos for companies and products and put them on images.
–Answer questions about what's in a picture and write detailed captions.
–Make images in many languages, like Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, English, and Spanish. And soon, even more languages will be available!
–This new Imagen 2 also cares a lot about safety and privacy. It has special features that make sure the images it makes follow Google's rules about being responsible and safe.

Customers who use Imagen 2 will also get extra support from Google if there are any legal problems about the pictures they make. Google has made a promise to protect these customers if there are any issues about copyright or ownership of the images made using Imagen 2.

Some big companies like Snapchat's parent company, Snap, and others like Shutterstock and Canva are already using this new technology to make cool things. For example, Snap is using Imagen 2 to help people create scenes to share with friends. Shutterstock uses it to turn text into pictures for people to use in their stories, and Canva lets its users create stunning images easily.
