Dave Citron, a senior director of product at Gemini, stated that Google has enhanced the technology and refined its evaluation methods, including conducting red-teaming exercises to test for vulnerabilities.
Earlier this year, Google halted the feature after it inaccurately rendered historical images, sparking widespread criticism on social media.
For example, a request for an image of a German soldier from 1943 resulted in a racially diverse group in German uniforms, and a query for a medieval British king produced images including a female ruler.
The updated Imagen 3 will exclude the creation of photorealistic identifiable individuals, depictions of minors, or images that are overly violent, gory, or sexual.
Citron emphasized that while not every generated image might be perfect, Google is committed to continuously improving the tool based on user feedback. The rollout will be gradual, aiming to expand availability to more users and languages.
