During WWDC 24, when talking about Apple intelligence, those from Cupertino announced “Image Playground”. A way to generate images with artificial intelligence. Now, the company has explained the rules that will govern this feature, as it is useful and fun, but very dangerous if used for bad purposes. For this reason, at Apple they have been very careful and have designed it to avoid even giving the user the possibility of misusing it. The images cannot in any case be realistic, it will be made very clear that they are generated with artificial intelligence, and the creation of images protected by copyright will be controlled.
Apple Intelligence It is Cupertino’s response to all the advances that other companies have made in the field of artificial intelligence. It seemed that Apple had become somewhat stagnant in that regard, to the point of not even mentioning it at any of its events. It was as if technology did not exist for those with the bitten apple. However, the Worldwide Developers Conference 24 on June 10 arrived and changed everything. Those of us who are already accustomed to these events immediately realized that something strange was happening. The presenters were going too fast with the operating systems. It all made sense when about an hour into the presentation, they started talking about Apple Intelligence.
“Image Playground”: fun but safe
One of the novelties of this technology is the generation of images from text. In true Dall-E style. The problem is that this has many risks. Photorealistic images can be created of people doing things they have not done, posing a danger to honor and integrity. privacy of all the world. Therefore, it is important to limit it or, at least, minimize it. Apple, being the champion of privacy that it is, couldn’t let something like this go by, and has added quite a few security measures to its “Image Playground” precisely for that reason.
As reported in AppleInsider, this service will not allow the generation of photorealistic images, but will only be able to create content in three very marked styles: animation, illustration, and sketch. Additionally, the metadata of the generated image will make it very clear that it is an Apple Intelligence creation. The generation of images with restricted content will also be limited. copyright. The creation of any type of explicit images will also be prohibited, and users will be allowed to send feedback on each image in order to detect problems and solve them as soon as possible.
In short, “Image Playground” will be a fun, creative and practical option to generate images from text for a multitude of purposes. However, at Apple they want to make it as identifiable as possible that we are dealing with a creation of artificial intelligence, and in any case avoid improper use of it to take advantage of this technology and cause harm to other people. A bet on creativity and fun, but with limits to those who want to use it for negative purposes.
