Google is set to host its biggest developer event of the year—Google I/O 2025—on May 20 and 21, promising a packed agenda with major updates across AI, Android, Search, and more. The event will be livestreamed from the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California, with top Google leaders taking the stage, including CEO Sundar Pichai, DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis, and executives overseeing Google’s Search, Android, and Cloud divisions.
AI to Dominate Google I/O 2025
As anticipated, AI will take center stage throughout the conference. Google’s powerful Gemini AI model family is expected to be a core focus, as the company continues its intense competition with OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and others. Expect updates from DeepMind, especially around Project Astra, the company’s multimodal AI system. Project Astra was initially teased last year with smart glasses powered by real-time AI capabilities, and further developments are likely this year.
The central theme is clear: AI integration across Google’s entire product ecosystem. Talks will cover how generative AI is transforming Search, how AI agents will interact with apps on users’ behalf, and the role of AI in autonomous systems like Waymo’s self-driving vehicles.
