The giant Google is meeting all those curious about artificial intelligence this Tuesday, May 14 at the end of the day. The traditional annual Google I/O conference will highlight the discipline.
Sundar Pichai, the big boss of the parent company Alphabet, announced the color during the previous edition: Google wants “ making AI more useful to everyone “. A year and the transformation of Bard into Gemini later, Google’s position remains the same: artificial intelligence is master. The major conference dedicated to developers, called “Google I/O”, will be held this Tuesday, May 14, 2024 at 7 p.m. Paris time. Here’s how to follow it and what the Mountain View firm could have in store for us, like a surprise.
Gemini and artificial intelligence, the announced stars of Google I/O
Mobile, Web, machine learning or Cloud… we can expect all disciplines to be discussed through the prism of artificial intelligence on Tuesday. The new features promised by Google are numerous. The language models, Gemini and its variants not to mention them, will be there, with possibly some announcements on the availability, or not, of the XXL Gemini Ultra model, intended for complex tasks, of which we still do not know if it will be launched soon in Europe, through the “Google One AI Premium” subscription, which we told you about on Clubic.
Android 15 will have its moment of glory
Concerning Android for example, it should be about generative AI, Android 15, which will finally be revealed and whose beta version is already available for download, but also Jetpack, Compose and other performance-oriented tools. Google also promises to unveil the new features of the Gemini API, its famous chatbot, but also of Google AI Studio and the Gemma language models.
“ We’ll share some demos and showcase relevant features that can accelerate developer workflows across Android, Firebase, and Google AI APIs », Also promise Google’s Android development teams.
With its historic tools, Google is preparing for the future
Google’s flagship products and services will obviously be highlighted during the conference. New tools for the Google Play store will be presented, as will the future direction of ChromeOS, its operating system.
The Google Maps API (which allows the developer to integrate various mapping, geolocation and other functionalities into their sites and mobile applications) will not be neglected by the announcements. The American company promises to help developers, for example, “ add a Google map to a React application ” For example.
A new assistant could be announced, the search engine of tomorrow too?
As for the general public, Google I/O could be the opportunity to announce a new assistant, called “Pixie”, which could replace the aging Google Assistant. Pixie would be directly powered by Gemini.
The famous search engine could also say a few words about the famous SGE (Search Generative Experience), this search experience where Google responds directly to the query, without necessarily referring to another site. On the other hand, no hardware announcement is planned this week, the release of the Google Pixel 8a being scheduled for the same day. But we are not immune to a surprise.

If you do not want to see the event directly on YouTube (with the video posted a few lines above), Google also offers to follow it from its dedicated website.

- Free and integrated into the Google ecosystem
Google Gemini is an AI chatbot intrinsically connected to the web from which it draws the majority of its knowledge. The main advantage of the service is that it is completely free and offers image recognition. The gradual integration into the Google ecosystem should make it a most capable chatbot for a variety of tasks.
