Google’s annual developer conference, Google I/O 2025, commenced today at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California. The event, running from May 20 to 21, is being livestreamed globally via Google’s I/O website and YouTube channel, with American Sign Language interpretation available for accessibility.
With the AI landscape evolving rapidly, the pressure is mounting on Google to prove it can keep pace — and even lead. Can Gemini, Google’s flagship AI model, break through the noise and become a household name? And more importantly, can Google innovate fast enough to keep its search empire from being overshadowed by rivals like ChatGPT?
Since last year, Google has rolled out a slew of new AI models, culminating in the latest Gemini 2.5, which many experts hail as a game-changer. The company’s also been busy behind the scenes — finalizing its biggest acquisition to date, unveiling ambitious AR glasses, and making steady progress with its autonomous driving technology. All while facing intense scrutiny from regulators, with ongoing legal battles over its dominance in search and digital advertising.
Heading into I/O 2025, Google feels both larger than life and under unprecedented pressure. The stakes couldn’t be higher. We’ll be bringing you live updates, analysis, and all the announcements as they unfold from the heart of the action.
