Google CEO Sundar Pichai made his debut on LinkedIn with an exciting sneak peek into Google’s preparations for the upcoming Google I/O 2024 event. In his first LinkedIn post, Pichai shared a glimpse of the Shoreline Amphitheatre stage where the keynote for Google I/O is being finalized, expressing anticipation for the event where developers worldwide will gather to explore the future of AI experiences.
Scheduled for tomorrow, the Google I/O keynote is set to commence at 10 a.m. PT (10:30 p.m. IST). The event promises insights into Google’s ongoing mission to organize and make information universally accessible. One of the focal points is expected to be Gemini, Google’s generative AI platform, as the company faces competition from rivals like OpenAI and Microsoft in the AI space.
Gemini’s advancements and potential integrations with flagship services such as Maps, Chrome, and Android are areas of interest. Additionally, a closer look at Android 15, Google’s latest mobile OS iteration with possible ties to Gemini, is anticipated. Updates for Wear OS, Android TV, and Android Auto, along with new AI developer tools, could also be on the agenda.
In terms of hardware, speculations revolve around the unveiling of a new foldable device, possibly a Pixel tablet or a successor to the Google Fold. Nest-related announcements may also feature, although no new Pixel handsets are expected following the recent launch of the Pixel 8a. However, insights into AI features within the Pixel 8a and its global availability starting today could still be part of the event’s discussions.
Google I/O 2024 promises a deep dive into AI innovations, software developments, and potential hardware surprises, making it a highly anticipated event for tech enthusiasts and developers alike.
