Google is set to host its biggest developer event of the year – Google I/O 2025 – on May 20 and 21.
Held at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, the event will spotlight how artificial intelligence is reshaping everything from search to smart devices.
A Two-Day Deep Dive Into Google’s AI Vision
The opening keynote kicks off on May 20 at 10 a.m. PT, led by CEO Sundar Pichai.
Joining him are DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis and other key leaders from Google’s Search, Cloud, and Android teams.
If you can’t attend in person, no worries, you can watch the livestream online.
What’s the main theme? AI. Lots of it.
From Google’s Gemini models to its next-gen AI research, expect nearly every update to revolve around how the company is baking AI into its products.
Gemini and Project Astra Steal the Show
Google’s family of AI models, Gemini, is likely to take center stage. These models aim to compete with big names like OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI.
We’re also expecting updates on Project Astra, DeepMind’s powerful multimodal AI system.
Last year, Google teased smart glasses powered by Astra, maybe we’ll see a full reveal this time around.
