How to watch Google I/O 2024 live

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

Google I/O 2024, the search giant’s developer and software-focused event, is set for May 14, and it should be quite the event for fans of Android and AI. 

That’s because we're expecting to get the lowdown on Android 15, and find out which of the many new features we've seen rumored have made it into the full release, and likely hear about a whole lot of new software and tools based on generative AI.

We’re not expecting to see any new hardware unfortunately – I/O tends not to be an event where Google launches hardware, though it has done in the past, as we saw with the Google Pixel Fold last year. 

So read on for how to watch Google I/O 2024.

How to watch Google I/O 2024?

Google I/O will be livestreamed on May 14, with the keynote starting at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST, which is May 15 at 3am AEST. 

The best way to watch Google I/O will be on YouTube at Google's main account. But you can also go on over to the Google I/O website to register your interest and get official information from the search giant. 

But if you don't have time to watch the whole keynote, we'll be reporting on all the news from the event, along with analysis and reaction on what Google shows off. And we're sure to have some interesting videos about and from I/O over on the TechRadar TikTok. 

What to expect at the Google I/O 2024 keynote

Overall there haven’t been a huge amount of hints as to what we’ll see at this year's Google I/O. The Google Pixel 8a has been revealed and will go on sale on May 14, so expect to hear a bit about it at I/O. And with that expect a deeper look at Android 15 and what new features to expect.

Google’s Wear OS 5 could get a look-in too, but we’re not expecting anything too radical, at least going by the lack of rumors around the wearable operating system. 

We'd also expect updates and new features for popular Google tools like Google Maps and Google Photos, in addition to tweaks to Chrome and G Suite.  

There’s a chance that new Chromebooks and Chrome OS updates could be teased or even revealed. And Google could discuss what it’s been working on with Samsung on the augmented reality front. 

We suspect we’ll hear a lot about generative AI and other smart computing techniques and tools, as AI is very much en vogue. To that end, expect to hear how developers can harness AI tools and bake them into their apps, as well as how generative AI can empower creative types; hopefully, while not stealing their jobs as a result. 

Google I/O could still hold some surprises, and we’ll be at the keynote to bring you all the latest news, views and analysis from the event. So make sure to check back with TechRadar on Tuesday.

Microsoft, Google, and Meta have borrowed EV tech for the next big thing in data centers: 1MW watercooled racks

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Liquid cooling isn't optional anymore, it's the only way to survive AI's thermal onslaught The jump to 400VDC borrows heavily from electric vehicle supply chains and design logic Google’s TPU supercomputers now run at gigawatt scale with 99.999% uptime As demand for artificial intelligence workloads intensifies, the physical infrastructure of data centers is undergoing rapid and radical transformation. The likes of Google, Microsoft, and Meta are now drawing on technologies initially developed for electric vehicles (EVs), particularly 400VDC systems, to address the dual challenges of high-density power delivery and thermal management. The emerging vision is of data center racks capable of delivering up to 1 megawatt of power, paired with liquid cooling systems engineered to manage the resulting heat.

Google’s AI Mode can explain what you’re seeing even if you can’t

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Google’s AI Mode now lets users upload images and photos to go with text queries The feature combines Google Gemini and Lens AI Mode can understand entire scenes, not just objects Google is adding a new dimension to its experimental AI Mode by connecting Google Lens's visual abilities with Gemini . AI Mode is a part of Google Search that can break down complex topics, compare options, and suggest follow-ups. Now, that search includes uploaded images and photos taken on your smartphone. The result is a way to search through images the way you would text but with much more complex and detailed answers than just putting a picture into reverse image search. You can literally snap a photo of a weird-looking kitchen tool and ask, “What is this, and how do I use it?” and get a helpful answer, complete with shopping links and YouTube demos.

Passing the torch to a new era of open source technology

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The practice of developing publicly accessible technologies and preventing monopolies of privately-owned, closed-source infrastructure was a pivotal technological movement in the 1990s and 2000s. The open source software movement was viewed at the time as a form of ‘digital civil duty’, democratizing access to technology. However, while the movement's ethos underpins much of today’s technological landscape, its evolution has proven to be a challenge for its pioneers. Hurdles Facing Young Developers Open source models successfully paved a path for the development of a multitude of technologies, cultivating a culture of knowledge sharing, collaboration , and community along the way. Unfortunately, monetizing such projects has always been a challenge, and ensuring contributors are compensated for their contributions working on them, even more so. On the other hand, closed-source projects offer greater control, security, and competitive advant...
