Everything Announced at Google's I/O 2023 Keynote

May 11, 2023

As expected, Google spent the majority of its annual I/O keynote discussing artificial intelligence. It debuted several new tools powered by the Bard AI, and occasionally acknowledged the ethical implications of AI before charging ahead without remorse.

But we didn’t spend the entire keynote staring at an AI chatbot. Google also opened pre-orders for its Pixel Fold, it showed off a new tablet, launched a new phone, and previewed some changes coming to Android 14.

To see everything that Google discussed at I/O 2023, check our top story.

Other Highlights:

• Facebook Messenger is leaving the Apple Watch.
• We reviewed the new Google Pixel 7a, and we’re a bit disappointed.
• Pre-orders for the Google Pixel Fold are finally here!
• … and more!
