Google put a strong focus on artificial intelligence during the Android section of the main keynote at I/O 2024. The much-anticipated Android 15 news, including Beta 2, will be saved for the next day’s announcements.
This year, Google showcased its commitment to artificial intelligence across its platforms, with updates provided on the Gemini app and the future of Gemini Nano. The Android 15 Developer Preview, which began in February, has been progressing steadily with some UI tweaks but no major changes yet.
Changes from Android 15 have already started to impact Android 14 QPR3 Beta, with updates being released quickly with Android 15 Beta 1.2 in late April. Beta 2 of Android 15 is expected to bring major changes in line with Google’s main announcements.
One promising development is Google’s decision to split the news over two days, a stark contrast to last year’s single mention of Android 14. The return of a multi-day, in-person event for I/O demonstrates the conference’s growth and importance in the tech industry.
Moreover, online sessions will be released on a third day, showcasing the conference’s expansion and evolution. Google’s strong emphasis on artificial intelligence and updates to its Android platform indicate exciting developments for the tech giant in the coming months. Stay tuned for more updates on Google’s advancements in AI and Android.
