SUNDAR PICHAI: As you may have heard,
AI is having a very busy year, so we've
got lots to talk about.
Let's get started.
We have been applying AI to make our products radically more
helpful for a while.
With generative AI, we are taking the next step.
Using a combination of semantic understanding and generative
AI, you can do much more with a new experience
called Magic Editor.
Let's have a look.
This is a great photo, but as a parent,
you always want your kid at the center of it all.
And it looks like the balloons got cut off in this one.
So you can go ahead and reposition the birthday boy.
Magic Editor automatically recreates
parts of the bench and balloons that were not
captured in the original shot.
As a finishing touch, you can punch up the sky.
It changes the lighting in the rest of the photo
so the edit feels consistent.
It's truly magical.
Imagine if you could see your whole trip in advance.
With Immersive View for Routes, now you can.
Today, we are ready to announce our latest PaLM model
in production, PaLM 2.
While PaLM 2 is highly capable, it really
shines when fine-tuned on domain-specific knowledge.
We recently released a version of PaLM
to fine-tune for security use cases.
Another example is Med-PaLM 2.
In this case, it's fine-tuned on medical knowledge.
This fine-tuning achieved a 9x reduction
in inaccurate reasoning when compared to the model.
SISSIE HSIAO: Bard will become more visual,
both in its responses and your prompts.
So if you're looking to have some fun with your fur babies,
you might upload an image and ask
Bard to write a funny caption about these two.
We are removing the wait list and opening up
Bard to over 180 countries and territories.
[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]
You'll be able to talk to Bard in Japanese and Korean.
With PaLM 2, Bard's math, logic, and reasoning skills
made a huge leap forward, underpinning its ability
to help developers with programming.
Here, Bard created a script to recreate this chess
move in Python.
And notice how it also formatted the code nicely,
making it easy to read.
As you collaborate with Bard, you'll
be able to tap into services from Google
and extensions with partners to let you do things never before
possible.
APARNA PAPPU: People use Slides for storytelling all the time,
whether at work or in their personal lives.
Let's pick one of the slides and use the poem on there
as a prompt for image generation.
Let's hit Create and see what it comes up with.
Starting next month, trusted testers
will be able to try this and six more generative AI features
across Workspace.
As you can see, we've launched a side panel, something
the team fondly calls Sidekick.
Sidekick instantly reads and processes the document
and offers some really neat suggestions,
along with an open prompt dialog.
We can see the true potential of AI as a collaborator,
and we'll be bringing this experience
to Duet AI for Workspace.
CATHY EDWARDS: I am just so excited by the potential
of bringing generative AI into search.
What you see here looks pretty different, so let
me first give you a quick tour.
You'll notice the new integrated search results page,
so you can get even more out of a single search.
There's an AI-powered snapshot that quickly gives you
the lay of the land on a topic.
Let's say you're searching for a good bike
for a five-mile commute with hills.
In the AI-powered snapshot, you'll
see important considerations.
Right under the snapshot, you'll see the option
to ask a follow-up question or select a suggested next step.
Tapping any of these options will bring you into our brand
new conversational mode.
If you're in the US, you can join the waitlist today
by tapping the Labs icon in the latest version of the Google
app or Chrome desktop.
THOMAS KURIAN: All of the investments
you've heard about today are also coming to businesses.
We're working with many other incredible partners.
You can build generative applications using
our AI platform, Vertex AI.
This infrastructure makes large-scale training workloads
up to 80% faster and up to 50% cheaper.
JOSH WOODWARD: I want to share one concept
that five engineers at Google put together
over the last few weeks.
The idea is called Project Tailwind,
and we think of it as an AI-first notebook.
You can simply pick the files from Google Drive,
and it effectively creates a personalized and private AI
model that has expertise in the information that you give it.
You can see, it's pulling out key concepts and questions
grounded in the materials that I've given it.
JAMES MANYIKA: And while I feel it's
important to celebrate the incredible progress in AI
and the immense potential that it has for people in society
everywhere, we must also acknowledge that it's
an emerging technology.
That's why we believe it's imperative to take
a responsible approach to AI.
For example, have you come across a photo
on a website with very little context,
like this one of the moon landing,
and find yourself wondering, is this reliable?
In the coming months, we're adding two new ways for people
to evaluate images.
First, with our About This Image tool in Google Search,
you'll be able to see important information,
such as when and where similar images may have first appeared.
We will ensure that every one of our AI-generated images
has metadata and markup in the original file
to give you context if you come across it
outside of our platforms.
SAMEER SAMAT: With more than 3 billion Android devices,
we've now seen the benefits of using AI to improve experiences
at scale.
We're launching a major update to our Find My Device
experience to support a wide range of devices in your life,
including headphones, tablets, and more.
We're introducing Unknown Tracker Alerts.
Your phone will tell you if an unrecognized tracking
tag is moving with you and help you locate it.
Last week, we published a new industry standard with Apple,
outlining how Unknown Tracker Alerts will
work across all smartphones.
DAVE BURKE: This year, we're combining
Android's guided customization with Google's advances
in generative AI so your phone can feel even more personal.
With our new generative AI wallpapers,
you choose what inspires you, and then we
create a beautiful wallpaper to fit your vision.
So let's take a look.
So, for example, I can pick--
what am I going to do-- "city by the bay
in a post-impressionist style."
Cool.
And I tap Create Wallpaper--
nice.
Now behind the scenes, we're using
Google's text-to-image diffusion models to generate completely
new and original wallpapers.
RICK OSTERLOH: We're completely upgrading
everything you love about our a-series
with the gorgeous new Pixel 7a.
Introducing Google Pixel Fold.
It combines Tensor G2, Android innovation,
and AI for an incredible phone that
unfolds into an incredible compact tablet.
The unique combination of form factor, triple-rear camera
hardware, and personal AI with Tensor
G2 to make it the best foldable camera system.
DAVE BURKE: I'm looking at Google Photos
of a recent snowboarding trip.
Now the scenery is really beautiful,
so I want to show you on the big screen.
I just open my phone, and the video instantly
expands into this gorgeous full-screen view.
Just swipe to bring up the new Android taskbar
and drag Google Messages to the side to enter
a split-screen mode, like so.
ROSES YAO: Pixel Tablet is the only tablet engineered
by Google and designed specifically
to be helpful in your hand and in the place
they are used the most, the home.
RICK OSTERLOH: Across Pixel and Android,
we're making huge strides with large-screen devices.
SUNDAR PICHAI: The shift with the AI is as big as they come.
We are approaching it boldly, with a sense of excitement.
And we are doing this responsibly,
in a way that underscores the deep commitment we
feel to get it right.
No one company can do this alone.
Our developer community will be key to unlocking
the enormous opportunities ahead.
We look forward to working together and building together.
