Google I/O returns to Mountain View May 10

Google just revealed that its annual developer conference, I/O, will be returning to Mountain View California’s Shoreline Amphitheater on May 10. Like last year’s event, the in-person event is set to be fairly intimate, though the company will be streaming the keynotes for free. In pre-pandemic years, I/O was a large event with multiple days of keynotes and workshops.

This scaled down event appears to be largely focused on public-facing talks, which bring key updates to Google’s various operating systems like Android and Wear OS. AI has been a cornerstone of the show as well, in recent year, and given all of the hype we’ve seen for service like ChatGPT and its own bard, I’d say there’s a good chance the company will be leaning even more strongly on the category at this year’s event.
