Google I/O 2024 Preview: AI Spotlight and Pixel Device Outlook

2024-03-15

Google will hold the next I/O developer conference on May 14, two months from now. Similar to last year, the keynote of I/O 2024 will be live-streamed with "limited on-site audience" and open to global viewers for virtual attendance.

This year's I/O conference is expected to focus on the field of artificial intelligence, especially after Google's release of its new flagship AI model, Gemini, and its mini version, Gemma.

However, the image generator of the Gemini robot has sparked controversy. Unexpected results occurred when displaying diverse images, which Google CEO Sundar Pichai described as "completely unacceptable." In addition to the mishap during the launch of Google Bard last year, despite Google's numerous proud achievements in the field of AI, the company still needs to explain how its technology stands out in competition with rivals such as Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic.

In addition, you will also hear about the new features of Android 15, which is about to be launched, as well as the latest updates on Google services such as Gmail and Google Photos. Furthermore, since Google introduced the mid-range phone 7A at the conference last year, it is highly likely that the new Pixel 8A smartphone will make its debut at this year's I/O conference. We expect the Pixel 8A to inherit the AI capabilities of the Pixel 8 and be priced more affordably for the market.
