Google’s highly anticipated annual developer conference, Google I/O, is set to commence tonight, promising exciting announcements and insights into the tech giant’s latest innovations. Scheduled for 10:30 PM IST, the event will be live-streamed from the Shoreline Amphitheatre in California, USA, making it accessible to audiences worldwide through Google’s official YouTube channel and the I/O 2024 official website.

One of the focal points of this year’s Google I/O is expected to be Google’s continued commitment to artificial intelligence (AI). With growing interest in generative AI tools like ChatGPT and CoPilot, Google has intensified its efforts, particularly with its Gemini model. Gemini powers Google’s latest chatbot and has found applications in collaborations with other tech giants like Samsung. The event may shed light on further integrations and partnerships, possibly extending to iOS features in collaboration with Apple.
Additionally, Google appears to be shifting focus from its traditional Assistant to the more advanced Gemini chatbot. This transition is likely to impact Assistant-enabled smart home devices, making it a topic of interest at Google I/O. The event is also anticipated to showcase broader AI integrations across Google’s product ecosystem, potentially introducing enhancements to the Gemini system and new AI capabilities for Pixel devices.
