SUNDAR PICHAI: Good morning, everyone, and welcome.
Let's actually make that welcome back.
I'm excited to show you how we are
deepening our understanding of information
so that we can turn it into knowledge
and advancing the state of computing
so that knowledge is easier to access, no matter who
or where you are.
Today, I'm excited to announce that we
are adding 24 new languages to Google Translate.
This includes the first Indigenous language
of the Americas.
And, together, these languages are spoken by more than 300
million people.
Using advances in 3D mapping and machine learning,
we are fusing billions of aerial and street-level images
to create a new high-fidelity representation of a place.
We are using computer vision to detect buildings
at scale from satellite images.
As a result, we have increased the number of buildings
on Google Maps in Africa by five times.
At Google, whenever I get a long document or email,
I look for a TL;DR at the top.
TL;DR is short for "too long, didn't read".
And it got us thinking, wouldn't life
be better if more things had a TL;DR?
That's why we have introduced automated summarization
for Google Docs, and Docs are only the beginning.
We are launching summarization for other products
in Workspace.
PRABHAKAR RAGHAVAN: Later this year, we'll
add a new way to search for local information
with multisearch near me.
Let's say there's quite a tasty-looking dish online.
With this new capability, I can quickly
identify that it's japchae, find nearby restaurants that serve
it, and enjoy it in no time.
With an advancement we're calling scene exploration,
you'll be able to use multisearch to pan your camera
and ask a question and instantly glean insights
about multiple objects in a wider scene.
ANNIE JEAN-BAPTISTE: Today, we're excited to share
how we're starting to use the Monk Skin Tone
Scale to build more inclusive products across Google.
We've started using the Monk Scale to help improve
how we understand and represent skin tone in products
like photos and search.
JEN FITZPATRICK: Even as technology grows increasingly complex,
we keep more people safe online than anyone else in the world.
We were the first consumer technology company to offer
two-step verification, and we're now the first to turn it
on by default. Whether you're on Android or iOS,
just one tap on your phone and you're in--
no six-digit codes.
We're constantly monitoring the security of your Google account
to give you peace of mind.
We're now adding a safety status on your profile picture.
So if anything needs your attention, we'll let you know
and then guide you through simple steps
to ensure your account is secure.
We've engineered a new technical approach
we call Protected Computing.
At its core, Protected Computing is a growing toolkit
of technologies that transforms how, when,
and where data is processed to technically ensure the privacy
and safety of your data.
DANIELLE ROMAIN: Soon, if you find search results that
contain your contact details, such as your phone number, home
address, or email address, that you want taken down,
you can easily request their removal from Google Search.
SUNDAR PICHAI: The journey we have been on with computing
is an exciting one.
We've always thought computers should be adapting to people,
not the other way around, so we continue
to push ourselves to make progress here.
To share more about how we are making computing more natural
and intuitive with the Google Assistant, here's--
SISSIE HSIAO: You should be able to easily initiate conversations
with your Assistant.
First is a new feature for Nest Hub Max called Look and Talk.
I can simply look over and ask, show me
some beaches in Santa Cruz.
ASSISTANT: I found a few beaches near Santa Cruz.
SISSIE HSIAO: We're also improving how the Assistant understands
you by being more responsive as you just speak naturally.
For example, I might tap and hold on my Pixel Buds
and say, play the new song from--
Florence and the something?
ASSISTANT: Got it.
Playing "Free" from Florence and the Machine on Spotify.
SUNDAR PICHAI: Today, we are excited to announce
LaMDA2, our most advanced conversation AI yet.
We are at the beginning of a journey
to make models like these useful to people
and we feel a deep responsibility to get it right.
That's why we have made AI Test Kitchen.
It's a new way to explore AI features with a broader
audience.
This demo tests if the model can take
a creative idea you give it and generate
imaginative and relevant descriptions.
JOSH WOODWARD: And this will be the first ever live demo of LaMDA
from stage.
I'm going to tap Start, and this is
a project I've been thinking a lot about lately,
plant a vegetable garden.
I'll send this off to LaMDA, and there it is.
On the fly, it's come up with these different steps
and broken it down into this list of subtasks.
One of the other things LaMDA does
is not just break down lists, but you can generate a tip.
So here when I tap Generate a Tip--
it's never seen this one before actually.
It's telling me if I have a small yard or patio,
it gives me different vegetables I might be able to grow.
You can see all the different pathways
that LaMDA is helping me think through
and giving me tips along the way.
SUNDAR PICHAI: As you just saw, LaMDA2
has incredible conversational capabilities.
To explore other aspects of natural language
processing and AI, we recently announced a new model.
It's called Pathways Language Model, or PaLM for short.
It's our largest model to date and trained on 540 million
parameters.
And when we combine that scale with a new technique
called chain-of-thought prompting,
the results are promising.
Chain-of-thought prompting allows
us to describe multistep problems
as a series of intermediate steps.
Now if you asked a model, how many
hours are in the month of May, it actually answers correctly.
Recently, we announced plans to invest $9 and a half billion
in data centers and offices across the US.
One of our state-of-the-art data centers is in Meigs County,
Oklahoma.
I'm excited to announce that there, we
are launching the world's largest
publicly-available machine learning hub for all our Google
Cloud customers.
We hope this will fuel innovation across many fields,
from medicine to logistics, sustainability, and more.
And, speaking of sustainability, this hub
is already operating at 90% carbon-free energy.
This is helping us make progress on our goal
to become the first major company to operate
all our data centers and campuses globally on 24/7
carbon-free energy by 2030.
SAMEER SAMAT: Android 13 builds on our Material
You design language so your phone has even more ways
to adapt to your style.
Of course, Android 13 comes jam-packed with dozens
of new security and privacy features.
When you send a message from your phone to someone else's,
you want to be sure it's private and secure.
That's why we've worked with carriers and devicemakers
all over the world to upgrade SMS text messaging
to a new standard called RCS, which
can enable important privacy protections,
like end-to-end encryption.
Today, we're excited to introduce the new Google
Wallet.
It's a digital wallet for Android
that gives you fast, secure access
to your everyday essentials.
TRYSTAN UPSTILL: We are now approaching
270 million active users on large-screen devices.
Starting today, we'll be updating more than 20 Google
apps to look amazing on large screens.
LIZA MA: And here's one of my favorite new features.
Copy something on your phone and paste it on your tablet.
It could be a URL, an address, or even a picture
or screenshot.
RICK OSTERLOH: An ambient approach gets the tech out of your way
so you can live your life while getting the help you need.
It doesn't matter what device you're using,
what context you're in, whether you're talking, typing,
or tapping.
The technology in your life works together seamlessly.
SONIYA JOBANPUTRA: Pixel 6a gives you the same great Android
experience as our Pixel 6 Pro.
We truly believe it's the best smartphone we've ever
offered for this price.
BRIAN RAKOWSKI: Let me give you an early preview
so you can see what's coming this fall.
Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are designed to deliver
the most helpful, most personal experience
you can get in a smartphone.
They'll use the next generation of our Google Tensor SoC,
bringing even more AI-heavy breakthroughs and helpful,
personalized experiences across speech, photography, video,
and security.
Pixel Buds Pro-- these earbuds have all the helpfulness
and smarts you'd expect from Google
embedded in the best mobile audio hardware we've ever
designed.
And they're the first Pixel Buds with active noise cancellation.
The new Google Pixel Watch.
It's the first watch built inside and out by Google,
and it's coming this fall with our new Pixel 7.
SUNDAR PICHAI: Today, we talked about all the technologies
that are changing how we use computers and access knowledge.
Looking ahead, there is a new frontier
of computing, which has the potential
to extend all of this even further,
and that's augmented reality.
At Google, we have been heavily invested in this area.
Let's take language as an example.
Language is just so fundamental to connecting with one
another--
the joy that comes with speaking naturally
to someone, that moment of connection
to understand and be understood.
Let's see what happens when we take our advancements
in translation and transcription and deliver them
in your line of sight in one of the early prototypes we've
been testing.
SPEAKER: I'm actually looking straight into your eyes
and it seems like you're looking right at me.
SUNDAR PICHAI: That's what our focus on knowledge
and computing is all about, the ability to spend
time focusing on what matters in the real world
in our real lives.
And it's what we strive for every day, the products that
are built to help.
Thank you so much.
