Lowering Bias and Enhancing Security in DALL·E 2

Right this moment, we’re implementing a brand new method in order that DALL·E generates photographs of folks that extra precisely replicate the variety of the world’s inhabitants.

Throughout this preview part, early customers have flagged delicate and biased photographs which have helped inform and consider this new mitigation.
