Google\u2019s next I\/O developer conference will kick off exactly two months from now on May 14th. Just like last year, the I\/O 2024 keynote will be \u201cbroadcast in front of a limited live audience\u201d and available for anyone to watch virtually. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The Gemini bot\u2019s image generator caused a controversy that Google CEO Sundar Pichai called \u201ccompletely unacceptable\u201d<\/a> after its attempt at creating pictures showing diversity had some unintended consequences. Throw in the flubbed facts from Google\u2019s Bard launch last year<\/a>, and while the company has a lot of AI advances to celebrate, it will also have to explain why its technology will win against competition from Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, and others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n You can also expect to hear about the new features set to arrive in Android 15 and updates to Google\u2019s other services like Gmail, Google Photos, and more. A new Pixel 8A smartphone<\/a> could also be in the cards at I\/O; Google introduced the midrange 7A during last year\u2019s event, so its successor is likely right around the corner and could see some of the Pixel 8\u2019s AI capabilities trickle down to a lower price point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
