Google I/O 2024 will be held on Wednesday, May 15th at 2 am (Korean Standard Time) at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California, USA. This annual event where developers from around the world participate, introduces artificial intelligence technologies and services from Alphabet affiliates. Last year, we announced 'PalM2', an LLM, Android 14's AI, Bard, the predecessor of Gemini, and Pixel 7A.

The key keyword this year again is AI. In this announcement, Google appears to be evolving search and Android OS with AI and turning smartphones into AI devices. Looking at the upcoming lineup, it is expected to announce how Android 15, Google Search, and the already announced Pixel 8A are combined with AI.

The personal digital assistant 'Pixie', which can only be used on the Google-made device 'Pixel', is expected to debut. Based on Gemini, it is predicted that it will offer the ability to learn how to use an object based on a photo or tell you how to get to a place where you can purchase the object. Last week, they also announced a low-priced model, the Pixel 8a, priced at $499. It appears to be somewhere between Apple and Samsung's expensive smartphones and the AI wearable devices Rabbit R1 and Human AI Pin.

In addition, software that actively utilizes AI technology will also be announced. We are also testing features that can help you find an EV charger on Google Maps or call the business and wait until someone is there. In addition, we are also announcing new features for various applications such as Gmail and Google Photos, as well as updates for Wear OS, Android TV, and Android Auto.

Can Google transform its image into an AI-leading company? Recently, Gemini Bot's image generator caused great controversy because it depicted the founders of the United States and Nazi German soldiers as black or Asian. For some reason, Google's AI-related announcements are often disappointing. In this update, we look forward to announcing features that offer cool new UX, such as Circle to Search.
