Amazon joins AI image creation fray with new model

Amazon has introduced Titan Image Generator, an AI model that can create realistic images from text prompts and change out backgrounds. Unlike consumer-oriented image generators, Titan is aimed at an enterprise audience. All images generated by Titan will include invisible watermarks as part of Amazon’s voluntary commitments. These watermarks can be used to identify if an image was created with AI, and are not confined to the metadata of the file. Amazon has also created an API for detecting the invisible watermarks, allowing developers to choose how to provide that information to users. In addition to Titan Image Generator, Amazon has also released Titan Text Lite for lighter text generation tasks and Text Express for larger uses like conversational chat apps. Amazon will provide copyright indemnity and legal cover to customers who use its Titan foundation models and other Amazon-created AI applications.
