MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced that there are now 2 billion active devices based on the company’s Android software and touted the company’s new AI efforts as he took the stage at Google’s annual developer conference on Wednesday.
He also announced a new product called Google Lens, which will be part of the Google Assistant for Android phones. Lens can identify objects in the real world for a variety of uses. For example, it can automatically edit your photos or help you connect to a wifi router by snapping a photo of the password.
"It's been a very busy year since last year. We've been focused on our core mission of organizing the world's information," he said. He also mentioned that Google's efforts in AI are solving the world's problems at scale.
Overall, we're expecting Google to focus a lot on artificial intelligence and how it informs a variety of products from the Google Assistant on Android phones and messaging apps like Allo during the keynote. Google's AI is also extending to other devices like GE appliances and the iPhone.
We should also get an update on the latest version of Android, called Android O, which is expected to launch this fall.
