On May 19 at 3:30 pm, Google is holding four sessions: What&#8217;s New in Google AI, What&#8217;s New in Android, What&#8217;s New in Chrome, and Agent-First Workflows from Prompt to Production. Then, at 4:30 p.m., there will be four other sessions: Building Next Generation AI Experiences with Google AI Studio and Antigravity, What&#8217;s New in Google Play, Unlock Modern Web Capabilities in Your AI Coding Workflow, and What&#8217;s New in Firebase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_ik\">\n<div class=\"e_lk e_qt\">\n<h3 class=\"e_tt\">Is Google focusing too much on AI at the expense of hardware?<\/h3>\n<p>1195 votes<\/p>\n<div class=\"e_vt e_tk\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"e_wt\"><\/p>\n<p>yes, hardware matters more<\/p>\n<p>44<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"e_wt\"><\/p>\n<p>No, AI is the future<\/p>\n<p>11<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"e_wt\"><\/p>\n<p>We need a better balance of both<\/p>\n<p>43<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"e_wt\"><\/p>\n<p>not sure<\/p>\n<p>3<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>Clicking on individual session pages gives a little more context. For example, What&#8217;s New in Google AI is presented as a look at Google&#8217;s end-to-end AI stack, including multimodal tools, media generation, robotics, and intelligent agents. What&#8217;s new in Android will highlight Android 17&#8217;s performance improvements and new capabilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>The schedule gives us a much clearer picture of the areas the company wants front and center this year, and naturally, it&#8217;s quite AI-heavy. In Google&#8217;s defense, this is a developer conference, and AI is where most of the development is happening in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_uc e_P\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
