On March 19, Google unveiled a new vision-language model called Screen AI.
Although they published a detailed paper about the technology used in this model’s use cases, they discussed many more technical things there.
But in this post, you will be able to learn what screen AI is. how it can impact you. its real-world applications, and many more.
So let’s start…
1. What is Google’s Screen AI?
Google’s screen AI is a visual model that can understand screenshots of different user interfaces (UIs) and infographics.
It can answer your questions related to the provided infographics or screenshots of UI.
So, long story short, it is a powerful visual model that can easily understand UIs (user interfaces ) and infographics.
Now let’s check the use cases, features, and limitations of this model.
A. Use Case:
There are different real-world use cases for this model, both for normal people and developers. Let me tell you what they are.
- You can provide complex infographics or visual data to screen AI, and screen AI can easily understand it and give you a detailed summary.
- You can ask questions regarding your provided image.
- If you are a developer, then you can easily get button size, image size, text font, and other insightful data from your provided UI screenshot.
- Also, it can be implemented in different browsers so that visually impaired people can understand the data given on the screen.
B. Limitations:
Although it is one of the best UI understanding models, it still has to train on lots of things.
Currently, it is trained on over 5 billion parameters, but as per my research, it fails to understand complex UIs.
C. Impact:
As far as my thoughts go, this model is going to have a positive impact on humans in several ways.
- It will make development easier and save developers a lot of time.
- It will simplify complex visual data, making it understandable for everyone.
- Additionally, it will help visually impaired individuals access information.
D. When will screen AI be released?
Google has not announced any plans for a release, but it may integrate this model into Google Gemini and google lens.
2. How does screen AI work?
You can easily understand the working process of screen AI in four simple steps. Check them out below.
Step 1 (Input):
- In the “Input” section, you have to provide a screenshot of the user interface or infographics.
- Also, you can provide questions related to that screenshot.
Step2 (Encoder):
- The encoder takes input data, such as images or text, and converts it into a form that the model can understand.
Step3(viT model):
- ViT stands for vision transformer; it takes an input image and converts it into a set of image embeddings.
- ViT can understand user-given visual data, and based on that data, it can give output.
Step4 (decoder):
- The decoder takes the embeddings generated by the encoder and uses them to produce the desired output.
- In simple terms, it is responsible for generating answers to questions.
3. Conclusion on Google’s Screen AI
Finally, I think that while screen AI may not be Google’s best product, it undoubtedly has the potential to help many people, both directly and indirectly.
It can also be utilized in various Google products, such as Google Lens, Google’s LLM Gemini, and more.
