What happened? In the past, if you wanted to generate an image from a text description, you would have needed to use specialized tools and a lot of expertise. But now, there’s Imagen. Imagen is an AI system that creates photorealistic images from input text, and it’s available to anyone with a computer and an internet connection. All you need is some text, and Imagen will do the rest. This matters because it shows the power of AI in creating new things from existing data. With Imagen, we can imagine all sorts of new images that didn’t exist before, and that can be used for any number of purposes.
Why is this important? This is important because it shows that, even as AI gets better and better at creating things, we humans still have an important role to play. We’re the ones who decide what to imagine, and what to create with Imagen. So even as AI gets more powerful, we need to make sure that we stay in control of it, and use it for good. Imagine how this new technology will impact artistic jobs and design jobs. Tell the AI system what kind of website, logo, or product you want and the system starts to design it for you, not one version but perhaps thousands of versions.
I’m excited to see what people will imagine with Imagen! What will you create? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

Our world is changing at an exponential rate! A big tidal wave of digital transformation and disruption is coming at us fast. Many organizations see this wave as a threat and experience stress, but there are also organizations that just see this wave as an opportunity.
Imagine sitting with just 10-15 fellow executives at a premier location, gaining clarity on the impact of AI on your industry while enjoying an exquisite dining experience. These are not just meetings—they are transformative moments that will shape the future of your organization
In the future, 3D printing and generative design will allow for products to be designed in a more decentralized manner, and production will take place closer to the customer and fully on-demand. 3D printing technology will also allow for more customization and personalization of products.
The agricultural industry is ripe for disruption. Robotics, AI, and IoT are all technologies that have the potential to radically transform the way we grow food. In combination with vertical farming, these technologies could increase the efficiency and quality of agricultural products.
A human-centered society is one that puts people first and where technology is used to unite and empower people. It is a society that values biological life and dignity above all else. It is a society that recognizes the importance of human relationships and works to strengthen them. In a human-centered society, all members of the community are valued and treated with respect.
The future of healthcare is here. New technologies like AI, IoT, big data, and smart sensors make it possible to become the CEO of your own health. Imagine that your phone can listen to your voice and AI algorithms can detect small nuances in the tone of your voice that indicate specific diseases.Â
