Instead of introducing a few single AI tools, Google made AI the focus of the Google I/O 2023 event stage.

As Google's annual developer event, Google I/O is typically the place where the search giant showcases to developers improvements to its programming platform, products, and innovations. new creation of the company. But with the unusual things introduced by the company during this year's event, this definition is no longer accurate.

The first unusual thing is the image of a duck jumping up and taking over the stage at the beginning of the event. Then there's the musical performance created as "an experiment of generative AI in conjunction with Dan Deacon and other Google AI tools including MusicLM, Bard, and Phenaki." It is unclear of those pieces of music, how many are from human compositions, how many are generated by AI.

While many people are still a bit confused about the topic of today's event, Google CEO Sundar Pichai took to the stage and confirmed their suspicions. It's not about the company's first folding smartphone, it's about AI - Google I/O 2023 turned into Google AI - with Pichai stating: "AI is now in everything the company does ." With AI proliferating, " we're redesigning every single one of our core products, including Search ."
