Google I/O 2025 is fast approaching, with the tech giant gearing up for its biggest developer conference of the year, set for May 20-21. The event will be headlined by CEO Sundar Pichai, DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, and key executives from Search, Cloud, and Android. Together, they will showcase major updates across Google’s ecosystem, with a major emphasis on AI.
The Gemini family of AI models will likely dominate discussions at the conference, as Google intensifies its push to rival competitors like OpenAI, xAI, Anthropic, and others in the rapidly growing AI space. Expect significant announcements around DeepMind’s multimodal AI systems, including Project Astra, a project that has already teased smart glasses powered by the AI system.
A major theme at Google I/O 2025 will be how AI is transforming Google’s entire product suite. Elizabeth Reid, Google’s head of Search, will take the stage to discuss how generative AI is revolutionizing search. Other presentations will cover the integration of AI in various sectors, including how AI agents will assist users in everyday apps and how Waymo’s autonomous vehicles leverage AI for navigation and decision-making.
The keynote will kick off at 10 a.m. PT on May 20 from Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, and will be available for live streaming. At 1:30 p.m. PT, the developer keynote will take place, focusing more on technical updates for developers rather than consumer-facing features.
Later, at 3:30 p.m. PT, Demis Hassabis will have a discussion with Alex Kantrowitz, host of the Big Technology Podcast, about DeepMind’s AI future and its broader impact on the world. Concurrently, live-streamed talks will feature updates on Android, Chrome, and Google Cloud.
