Microsoft To Host Dall-E2’s Artificial Intelligence-based Image Generator, Integrating the Technology With Its Video-making Tool

Dall-E2, an artificial intelligence image generator, is about to find a new host in Microsoft Corporation as the latter is set to integrate the former with its Microsoft Designer, a video-making tool to be available within the Microsoft Office suite.

As specified in an Analytics Insight report, until recently, Dall-E2 "which is looked down upon as an app" meant for just playing around with text prompts, will be a part of the AI graphic design app of Microsoft.

Video makers and designers who find it hard to reach for distinctive images can now leverage the Designer app of Microsoft to create videos with their choice of imagery.

This venture of Microsoft is seen as a step toward competing against Canva, a design major, boating over 100 million active users.

Bringing AI Image Generator Closer to the Masses

During the recently held Ignite conference, Microsoft announced it would incorporate Dall-E2 into the said yet-to-be-released Microsoft Designer app, as well as the existing Edge and Bing.

As Dall-E2, which is described in the OpenAI website, enters the space of Microsft and given the long Microsoft association with Open AI, the incorporation is making it only a natural progression in the generative artificial intelligence sphere bringing the AI image generator much nearer the masses.

Essentially, the Dall E integrated tool, for the time being, would be user-centric although might scale up to cater to business use cases.

With Microsoft collaborating with several schools and offices, it is quite apparent that the AI-enabled tools would have enormous patronage.

The Microsoft Tool

With the Designer, now it will be much easier for users to create motion graphics that are more creative and targeted and can access more than 100 million user-generated images with drop-down menus and text boxes for customization and personalization.

While three out of four AI-powered tools Binge, Edge, and Clipchamp announced by Microsoft are openly available, only a select few can access the Designer.

Nevertheless, interested users can take part in the waiting list for the free preview. After making the Microsoft app available for general users, the tech giant said it will keep a "free tier, along with the premium editions for Microsoft 365 Personal and Microsoft 365 Family subscriptions.

Nonetheless, Microsoft is making the Image Creator available only in specific regions so as to collect feedback prior to its release at full-scale.

Addressing 'Content Abuse'

Apparently, Microsoft is careful about bringing the trial under open access as it's worried about "content abuse," which Dall E has been miserably victimized.

Answering the questions as to how Microsoft is planning to solve the problem, it said it had taken steps such as deploying filters that limit the production of content that's violating content policies, which include additional questions to block sensitive and offensive topics, and technologies that allow for "generate diverse results."

Addressing the patent and copyright issues surrounding image-generating apps, it said users will have complete rights over the content they create and the tech firm would not in a way, claim ownership prompts captions or inputs at any phase of creation or post submission.
