Google I/O 2025: All eyes on AI and Gemini

If you’re ready for a break from artificial intelligence, Google I/O won’t be your safe haven. The annual developer conference — which starts next week in Mountain View, Calif. — and also offers a large virtual option, is expected to focus heavily on Google’s latest developments in AI, especially its Gemini family of products.

Google held The Android Show: I/O Edition last week where it unveiled Android 16’s new Material 3 Expressive design language and Gemini AI integration for Android Auto and Wear OS. Expect further Android news during I/O. This could include more details on Android 16’s features, potentially including new privacy enhancements, scam-detection features, and updates to the Find Hub.

But there’s no doubt Gemini will be the star of the show. Following Google’s recent developer preview of Gemini 2.5 Pro, the company is likely to demonstrate significant performance gains, new applications, and expanded availability of its flagship AI.

Look for updates on how Gemini is enhancing Google Search, Google Workspace applications, and possibly new AI agent capabilities. Another topic to watch is Project Astra, Google’s vision for a universal AI assistant that can understand the real world through video and audio.
