The annual Google I/O 2023 developer conference should bring a lot of news for artificial intelligence enthusiasts, fans of the Android and in love with the Pixel cell phone line. This year’s event promises to impress many people, especially with the versatile use of AI in apps, websites and products.
When does Google I/O 2023 take place?
Google I/O 2023 kicks off on May 10th, with the main keynote taking place at 2:00 pm (Brasília time) at the Shoreline Amphitheater, in Mountain View, United States. There will be a live internet broadcast of the opening for the whole world and videos with rounds of in-depth information on specific technologies for the devs.
Find out what to expect and how the expectation is for this year’s Google I/O.
What’s new from Google for 2023
1. Artificial intelligence everywhere
It is impossible to think of a Google event for developers without addressing the topic of the moment: artificial intelligence. The focus of most announcements is likely to be on AI technologies for products and services, such as optimizing solutions for the Workspace suite and helping with email writing in Gmail.
Google is also expected to introduce generative AI capabilities for Google Ads. The company recently demonstrated for advertisers how it intends to use chatbots to create ads and campaigns based on materials created by marketers.
2. Google Bard
Google’s main bet to rival ChatGPT is the chatbot called Bard. The technology is still in the closed testing phase, but many people have already managed to experience its creative and responsive capabilities.
In tests carried out here at Canaltech, AI did not present any major innovation, especially when compared to the power of Bing Chat — in fact, Bard even did worse than competitors in producing responses, assertiveness of content and flexibility of use. On the other hand, the learning curve seems to be high, so much so that the system has already learned to program and even learned a language by itself.
Bard is expected to enter a public Beta phase, with free access for everyone.
3. New search engine
For the first time in almost 30 years, Google really needs to move to not have its search engine threatened. ChatGPT and Microsoft’s rival are coming with everything to revolutionize the research sector and could represent a real threat in the medium and long term if nothing is done.
The New York Times reported that the Mountain View Giant plans to carry out a complete overhaul of its search engine to incorporate artificial intelligence tools as of May. Therefore, more details on the “Magi” project are expected to be shown at I/O 2023.
4.Google Image
Bard has stolen the spotlight in recent months, but Google has an AI tool that caught the eye last year: Imagen. This is a system to rival DALL-E and Midjourney in creating art and artificial photographs from text descriptions.
The service would still be able to create videos from the same assumption, but with a motion effect like a GIF. In the images released in October 2022 and shown above, the result was still pretty bad, but technology may have evolved in the last six months.
5. Android 14
Android 14 had its first beta version released in April 2023, but Google has not yet officially spoken about the news planned for the mobile operating system. I/O 2023 is likely to be the ideal place to delve into some technical details.
The promise is to make minor adjustments and deliver better performance for Android 14 to run on all types of cell phones. This version will also be the first to allow the removal of factory-installed apps, which many people end up not even using. The software can also add more accessibility features and offer more lock screen customization options.
6. Wear OS 4
Still without any official information, the operating system for smartwatches Wear OS 4 can paint at Google I / O 2023. Wear OS 3 was announced in 2021 and is already out of date almost two years later, which is why it makes sense to have an update.
The software should serve as the basis for the One UI 5 Watch, announced by Samsung for the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 smartwatches. It is precisely this news that strengthens the rumors that Google may present the future of smart watches next week.
7. Pixel Fold
After several rumors, Google can finally reveal more details about the Pixel Fold, its mobile phone with a folding screen that turns into a tablet. The device was confirmed by the company on May 4 and maintains the style of the Pixel 7 line, with pill-shaped cameras and the use of premium materials for finishing.
The dpbrable should become the main rival of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold. Google is expected to introduce several apps adapted for the big screen as a way to take better advantage of the expanded look, which resembles an open book.
8.Pixel 7a
Although it is a software conference, Google I / O also usually presents details about the devices to be launched by the company in the coming months. The Pixel 7a should be the company’s last intermediate model, which will focus only on premium cell phones.
Even framed in a lower category, the expectation is high, because its settings are very interesting. The Pixel 7a should bring a 6.1-inch screen, with OLED technology and Full HD resolution.
