Google rolls out AI image generation in Search, allows users to create visuals from text prompts

Google's new Search Generative Experience feature lets users create AI-generated images by typing text queries into the search bar.
The image creation uses Google's Imagen AI model, offering users multiple options to choose from and customize.
The feature is currently limited to English queries in the US by users over 18 who have opted into the SGE experiment.
Google has strict content policies, adds metadata/watermarks, and limits face generation to curb potential misuse.
In addition to visuals, SGE now enables users to generate written drafts directly within search results.
