What to expect from Google I/O 2025 in a nutshell
Google is set to hold its largest developer conference of the year, Google I/O 2025, on May 20 and May 21. The event will feature major updates to Google’s product offerings from CEO Sundar Pichai, DeepMind CEO and co-founder Demis Hassabis, and executives in charge of Search, Cloud, and Android.
Google I/O 2025 is expected to heavily focus on AI, with Google’s family of AI models, Gemini, likely taking center stage. Pichai and Hassabis will continue their push for dominance over competitors such as OpenAI, xAI, and Anthropic. Updates around DeepMind’s projects, including its multimodal AI system Project Astra, are also anticipated.
A key theme at the conference will be the integration of AI across Google’s products. Google’s head of Search, Elizabeth Reid, will discuss how generative AI is impacting search. Other executives will speak about the use of AI by scientists, AI agents using apps for users, and how Waymo’s autonomous vehicles use AI to navigate.
