[APPLAUSE] SAMEER SAMAT: Hi, everyone. It's great to be back at Google
I/O. As you've heard today, our bold and responsible
approach to AI can unlock people's
creativity and potential. But how can all this
helpfulness reach as many people as possible? At Google, our computing
platforms and hardware products have been integral
to that mission. From the beginning
of Android, we believed that an open OS
would enable a whole ecosystem and bring smartphones
to everyone. And as we all add more devices
to our lives, like tablets, TVs, cars, and
more, this openness creates the freedom to
choose the devices that work best for you. With more than 3
billion Android devices, we've now seen the benefits of
using AI to improve experiences at scale. For example, this
past year, Android used AI models to protect
users from more than $100 billion suspected spam
messages and calls. [APPLAUSE] We can all agree
that's pretty useful. There are so many
opportunities where AI can just make things better. Today, we'll talk
about two big ways Android is bringing that
benefit of computing to everyone, first,
continuing to connect you to the most complete
ecosystem of devices where everything works
better together, and second, using AI to make the things you
love about Android even better, starting with customization
and expression. Let's begin by talking about
Android's ecosystem of devices, starting with two of
the most important-- tablets and watches. Over the last two years, we've
redesigned the experience on large screens, including
tablets and foldables. We introduced a new
system for multitasking that makes it so much
easier to take advantage of all that extra screen real
estate and seamlessly move between apps. We've made huge investments to
optimize more than 50 Google Apps, including Gmail,
Photos, and Meet. And we're working closely with
partners, such as Minecraft, Spotify, and Disney
Plus, to build beautiful experiences that feel
intuitive on larger screens. People are falling in
love with Android tablets, and there are more great
devices to pick from than ever. Stay tuned for our
hardware announcements, where you just might see some
of the awesome new features we're building for
tablets in action. It's really exciting
to see the-- [APPLAUSE] It's really exciting to see
the momentum in smartwatches, as well. Wear OS is now the
fastest-growing watch platform just two years after launching
Wear OS 3 with Samsung. A top ask from fans has been
for more native messaging apps on the watch. I'm excited to
share that WhatsApp is bringing their first-ever
watch app to Wear this summer. [APPLAUSE] I'm really enjoying using
WhatsApp on my wrist. I can start a new conversation,
reply to messages by voice, and even take calls. I can't wait for you to try it. Our partnership on Wear OS
with Samsung has been amazing. And I'm excited
about our new Android collaboration on ImmersiveXR. We'll share more
later this year. Now, we all know that to
get the best experience, all these devices need to
work seamlessly together. It's got to be simple. That's why we built
Fast Pair, which lets you easily connect
more than 300 headphones, and why we have Nearby
Share to easily move files between your phone,
tablet, or Windows in Chrome OS computer, and Cast, to
make streaming video and audio to your
devices ultra simple, with support from
over 3,000 apps. It's great to have all
your devices connected. But if you're
anything like me, it can be hard to keep
track of all this stuff. Just ask my family. I misplace my earbuds at
least three times a day, which is why 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. It's powered by a network of
billions of Android devices around the world. So if you leave your
earbuds at the gym, other nearby Android devices
can help you locate them. And for other important
things in your life, like your bicycle or suitcase,
Tile, Chipolo, and others will have tracker tags
that work with the Find My Device network, as well. [APPLAUSE] Now, we took some
time to really get this right because protecting
your privacy and safety is vital. From the start, we
designed the network in a privacy-preserving way,
where location information is encrypted. No one else can tell where
your devices are located, not even Google. This is also why 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. [APPLAUSE] It's important these warnings
work on your Android phone but on other types
of phones, as well. That's why last week, we
published a new industry standard with Apple, outlining
how unknown tracker alerts will work across all smartphones. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Both the new Find My Device
experience and unknown tracker alerts are coming
later this summer. Now, we've talked a lot
about connecting devices, but Android's also
about connecting people. After all, phones
were created for us to communicate with
our friends and family. When you're texting
in a group chat, you shouldn't have to worry
about whether everyone is using the same type of phone. [LAUGHTER] Sending high-quality
images and video, getting typing notifications,
and end-to-end encryption should all just work. That's why we've worked with our
partners on upgrading old SMS and MMS technology
to a modern standard called RCS that makes
all of this possible. And there are now over 800
million people with RCS-- [APPLAUSE] --on our way to over a billion
by the end of the year. We hope every mobile
operating system-- [LAUGHTER] --gets the message
and adopts RCS-- [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] --so we can all hang out
in the group chat together, no matter what
device we're using. Whether it's connecting
with your loved ones or connecting all
of your devices, Android's complete
ecosystem makes it easy. Another thing people
love about Android is the ability to
customize their devices and express themselves. Here's Dave to
tell you how we're taking this to the next
level with generative AI. [MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE] DAVE BURKE: All right. Thanks, Sameer. And hello, everyone. So here's the thing. People want to
express themselves in the products
they use every day, from the clothes they
wear to the car they drive to their surroundings at home. We believe the same should
be true for your technology. Your phone should feel like
it was made just for you. And that's why
customization has always been at the core of
the Android experience. This year, we're combining
Android's guided customization with Google's advances
in generative AI so your phone can feel
even more personal. So let me show you
what this looks like. To start, messages
and conversations can be so much more
expressive, fun, and playful with Magic Compose. It's a new feature coming
to Google Messages, powered by generative AI,
that helps you add that extra spark of personality
to your conversation. So just type your
message like you normally would, and then
choose how you want to sound. Magic Compose will do the
rest so your messages give off more positivity, more
rhymes, more professionalism, or, if you want, in the style
of a certain playwright. To try or not to try this
feature, that is the question. Now, we also have
new personalizations coming to the OS layer. At Google I/O two years ago,
we introduced Material You. It's a design system that
combines user inspiration with dynamic color science for
a fully personalized experience. We're continuing to expand
on this in Android 14 with all-new customization
options coming to your lockscreen. So now I can add my
own personalized style to the lockscreen clock so
it looks just the way I want. And what's more, with the
new customizable lockscreen shortcuts, I can instantly
jump into my most frequent activities. Of course, what really makes
your lock screen and home screen yours is the wallpaper. And it's the first
thing that many of us set when we get a new phone. Now, emojis are such
a fun and simple way of expressing yourself,
so we thought, wouldn't it be cool to bring
them to your wallpaper? So with emoji
wallpapers, you choose your favorite
combination of emoji, pick the perfect pattern, and
then find just the right color to bring them all together. So let's take a look. And I'm not going
to use the laptops. I'm going to use a phone. So let's see. I'm going to go into
the Wallpaper Picker. And I'm going to tap on
the new option for Emojis. And I'm feeling in a
kind of, I don't know, zany mood with all you
people looking at me. So I'm going to pick
this guy and this guy. And, let's see, who
else is in here? This one looks pretty cool,
the 8-bit one, and, obviously, that one. [LAUGHTER] And somebody said there was
a duck on stage earlier. So let's go find a duck. Hello, duck. Where's the duck? Can anyone see a duck? Where has the duck gone? There's a duck. All right, there he is. Now, we got some ducks. OK, cool. And then,
pattern-wise, we've got a bunch of different
patterns you can pick. I'm going to pick Mosaic. That's my favorite. Then I'm gonna
play with the zoom. Let's see. We'll get this just right. OK, I got enough ducks in there. OK, cool. And then Colors-- let's see. Ooh, that pops. Let's go with a more muted
one or, maybe, that one. That one looks good. That looks good. I like that one. All right, select that. Set the wallpaper. And then I go home. Looks pretty cool, huh? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] And the little emojis, they
react when you tap them, which I find-- [LAUGHTER] I find this
unusually satisfying. And how much time I got? OK, no. OK, we'll move on. Of course, many of us like
to use a favorite photo for our wallpaper. And so with the new
cinematic wallpaper feature, you can create a stunning 3D
image from any regular photo and then use it
as your wallpaper. So let's take a look. So this time, I'm going
to go into my photos. And I really like this
photo of my daughter, so let me select that. And you'll notice there's
a sparkle icon at the top. So if I tap that, I get a new
option for Cinematic Wallpaper. So let me activate that
and then wait for it. Boom. Now, under the hood, we're
using an on-device convolutional neural network to
estimate depth and then a generative adversarial
network for inpainting as the background moves. The result is a beautiful,
cinematic 3D photo. So then let me
set the wallpaper. And then I've got
to return home. And check out the parallax
effect as I tilt the device. It literally jumps
off the screen. [APPLAUSE] So both cinematic wallpapers
and emoji wallpapers are coming first to
Pixel devices next month. [CHEERING] So let's say you don't have the
perfect wallpaper photo handy, or you just want to have fun
and create something new. 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 this time, I'm
going to go and select Create A Wallpaper With AI. And I like classic arts. Let me tap that. Now, you'll notice
at the bottom, we use structured prompts
to make it easier to create. 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. And I can swipe through and
see all the different options that it's created. And some of these look
really cool, right? [APPLAUSE] So let me pick this one. I like this one. So select that,
set the wallpaper, and then return home. Cool. So now, out of the billions of
Android phones in the world, no other phone will
be quite like mine. And thanks to Material You, you
can see that the system's color palette is automatically
adapted to match the wallpaper I created. Generative AI wallpapers
will be coming this fall. [APPLAUSE] So from a thriving
ecosystem of devices to AI-powered expression,
there is so much going on right now in Android.
