Google I/O 2024: AI is in Everything, Including Your Search Bar
- At its annual developer conference, Google announced it’s integrating its Gemini AI model across all its products.
- The biggest change is “AI Overviews” in Google Search, which provides AI-generated summaries at the top of search results.
- Google also showcased Project Astra, its vision for a universal, real-time AI agent.
Google’s message at I/O 2024 was clear: AI is no longer a separate product—it is the product. The most immediate change for billions of users is the arrival of AI summaries in Google Search, aiming to answer your questions directly so you don’t have to click through links.
Beyond search, Google demonstrated Project Astra, an AI agent that can see the world through a phone’s camera and answer questions about it in real time. This signals a future where we don’t just ask AI questions, but continuously interact with it as a smart companion throughout our day.
