When and where to watch Google I/O 2024?

Google I/O 2024 opens today, May 14, at 7pm Paris time. You can follow it live here, commentating from us, on our Twitch with special guest, Edward Márquez, but also on Google Live.

What are the expectations?

This year, Google is clearly focusing on artificial intelligence, with a notable absence of the typically expected new hardware announcements. For example, the Pixel 8a has already been announced, and there probably won't be any news about the Pixel Fold.

So what can we expect from this conference?

Gemini: the star of the event

Gemini, Google's generative AI platform, will undoubtedly be the star of the event. Google announced that this edition of the I/O conference will be mainly dedicated to artificial intelligence. In direct competition with giants like OpenAI and Microsoft, Google must prove that it can outperform its competitors. It is possible that a new version of Gemini will be revealed.

Gemini is also expected to be more deeply integrated into various Google services like Search, Maps, and Chrome, in addition to Android.

Android 15: Preview of future update

Android 15 is already available in beta. The I/O conference is the perfect opportunity for Google to dive deeper into the new features of its upcoming mobile operating system. We can expect deep integration with Gemini, thus enabling generative AI functions directly on our smartphones.

Among other planned announcements, Google should also give us news about its other platforms such as Wear OS, Android TV and Android Auto.

Tools for developers

Another highlight of Google I/O 2024 will undoubtedly be the introduction of new AI development tools. These tools aim to make it easier to create applications and services that incorporate AI capabilities, making the technology more accessible to developers. This approach supports Google's strategy to open AI to a wider audience and encourage innovation in the field.

Starline Secrets and Translation Glasses

Although Google is not focusing on hardware this year, it is possible that updates to some previous projects will be revealed. For example, the fate of translation glasses or the progress of the Starline project, an immersive 3D video conferencing technology, could be discussed.
