I’m heading back to the South Bay next week, thanks to Google I/O, which is coming back to the Shoreline Amphitheater. I honestly don’t expect much of anything related to this beat, though AI is going to be all over that thing. That’s hardly a new phenomenon, of course — previous developer conferences have showcased how in-house developments have made their way into real-world applications like screening phone calls and making dinner reservations.

With hype around generative AI at an all-time high, the onus is on CEO Sundar Pichai to convince the world that Google hasn’t missed a step. The company’s showing thus far with things like Bard has been a bit of a disappointment — enough to actually make Bing relevant for a minute. Brave new world, indeed.
