Google is gearing up to hold its largest developer conference of the year, Google I/O 2025, on May 20 and May 21. CEO Sundar Pichai, DeepMind CEO and co-founder Demis Hassabis, and executives in charge of Search, Cloud, and Android will announce major updates to Google's product offerings.
We're expecting Google I/O 2025 to focus on AI a lot (seriously, a lot).
Google's family of AI models, Gemini, will likely take center stage during Google I/O 2025 as Pichai and Hassabis continue their push for dominance over OpenAI, xAI, Anthropic, and other well-funded competitors. We're also expecting updates around DeepMind's projects, such as its multimodal AI system Project Astra. At last year's Google I/O, the company teased a pair of smart glasses powered by Project Astra.
A key theme at Google I/O 2025 will be how AI is infiltrating all of Google's products. For example, Google's head of Search, Elizabeth Reid, is giving a talk on the AI stage about how generative AI is “revolutionizing search.” Other Google executives are scheduled to speak at the event about how scientists are using AI, how AI agents will use apps for users, and how Waymo's autonomous vehicles use AI to navigate the physical world.
The Google I/O 2025 keynote kicks off at 10 a.m. PT on May 20 from the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View. You can watch a livestream of Google's keynote here, or watch via the embed below. At 1:30 p.m. PT, the developer keynote begins. As the name suggests, the developer keynote will focus less on the consumer side of things.
Later in the day, at 3:30 p.m. PT, Hassabis will speak with Alex Kantrowitz, host of the Big Technology Podcast, about the future of DeepMind's AI and its impact on the world. At the same time, there will be livestreamed talks about the latest updates to Android, Chrome, and Google Cloud.
Some of the talks at Google I/O won't be livestreamed, but lucky for you, TechCrunch will be on the ground covering the biggest announcements from the event.
This year, Android announcements will come a week ahead of Google I/0 2025 during an event called “The Android Show.” It kicks off on Tuesday at 10 a.m. PT, and you can watch the livestream here.
