AI is a big focus for Google right now. Perhaps you’ve noticed. It’s impossible to go on Google Search these days without seeing an “AI Overview” at the top of your search results. Google is repeatedly touting Gemini as the next great AI assistant, and Google’s recent Pixel 9a announcement also came with the news that Google’s Pixel Studio app can now generate AI images of people.
Google wants to sprinkle in AI anywhere it can, and to some extent, I’m OK with this. I want to see Gemini continue to improve and become the Google Assistant replacement Google wants it to be. I’d love to learn more about Google’s ambitious Project Astra, and I’m curious to see how AI will further impact Android and Wear OS.
