Anticipating Google I/O 2024: A Guide on What to Expect and How to Tune In

0:00

The arrival of spring is marked by the chirping of birds, the buzzing of bugs, and the anticipation of Google I/O. Following Apple’s recent iPad launch event, Google is gearing up for its I/O developer conference on May 14 at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California. The keynote, set to start at 10 am PDT, will feature updates on Android 15, Google search, the Pixel 8A budget phone, and a slew of news on artificial intelligence.

Google is pushing its generative AI offerings into various services, including search, photo and video tools, and workspace tools like Gmail and Google Docs. Updates on Android 15, Android Auto, and Wear OS will also highlight AI-powered features. The AI announcements at Google I/O might offer a glimpse into what Apple has in store for its WWDC keynote in June.

While I/O is predominantly software-focused, Google has unveiled new hardware devices at past events. This year’s event may not see much on the hardware front, with leaked details about the Pixel 8A being the main highlight. However, surprises are always possible, and Google might introduce new devices or AR tech, with AI development taking the spotlight.

To catch the live keynote address on May 14 at 10 am PDT, visit Google’s I/O website or YouTube channel. The subsequent developer-focused keynote will follow at 1:30 pm PDT. The video feed is also embedded right here on this page.
