Google I\/O 2026<\/span><\/span> is set to take place today when the tech giant will share its latest advancements in artificial intelligence<\/span><\/span>, products and, hopefully, some hardware.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last week, Google took the wraps off the latest version of Android<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and announced a new laptop platform, Googlebooks<\/span><\/span>, which uses a new operating system that’s a merged version of Android and ChromeOS<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We saw some of the fruit of the tech giant’s latest efforts during the Android Show<\/span><\/span>, with Google showing an “intelligence system” that performs tasks on your behalf.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Android is Google’s playground for showcasing the best of its AI features, though some may be exclusive to the new\u00a0Pixel phones\u00a0we expect later this year. Google detailed all of the features coming to the next version of the operating system during the Android Show,<\/span><\/span> and the latest and greatest have yet to make it to the existing beta builds available today.<\/p>\n

Google released the first beta version of\u00a0Android 17<\/span><\/span>, its phone operating system, back in February, and three additional betas have been released since, with the latest in mid-April.
