Google I/O centered on artificial intelligence as the dominant theme with sessions on humanoid robotics physical AGI and AI-driven advances in scientific discovery including remarks from DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis

Google I/O is coming to an end, and it has been nothing less than one of the most impressive moments of my life. Why? First, simply because I had the privilege of being there in person while some of the brightest minds in the world talked about the future of AI and the direction technology is taking. Google I/O may officially be Google’s annual developer conference, but this year it felt like everything revolved around one central theme: AI. There was almost no product, no category, no part of the Google ecosystem that was not being reshaped, extended, or reimagined through AI. More than that, AI felt like the gravitational center of nearly every release. I tried to attend as many sessions as possible. In humanoid robotics, people are now talking about "physical AGI." Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, spoke about the possibility that we may be on the cusp of a new golden age of scientific discovery, with AI helping us make progress toward solving some of the hardest problems in medicine and science. And agentic AI showed, once again, how AI is becoming more proactive, more capable, and more deeply integrated into the way we work, build, and create. But beyond the announcements, what affected me most was the feeling of being there. I have rarely felt such a strong sense of optimism, enthusiasm, and genuine excitement about what is coming next. There was this almost physical feeling of momentum: the sense that we are not just watching a technological revolution unfold, but that we have the opportunity to participate in it, shape it, and help explain it to the world. (Something im really missing in germany/europe) I cannot even count how many fascinating conversations I had, how many wonderful and incredibly intelligent people I was able to meet, and how much I learned in just two days. The atmosphere was full of joy, curiosity, and ambition - and somehow, it felt like everyone was welcome. What made it even more special for me were the conversations I had on camera with remarkable people from Google, including Robby Stein, VP of Product at Google Search, Paige Bailey and Omar Sanseviero from Google DeepMind, Logan Kilpatrick, Product Lead for Google AI Studio and the Gemini API, Lizzie Tao from the NotebookLM team, and, most personally meaningful to me, Demis Hassabis. I could never have imagined that one day I would meet him in person. These two days will stay with me for a very long time. Tomorrow, I am heading back to Germany. But honestly, not for long. From May 31, I will already be back in San Francisco for Microsoft Build, and hopefully I will get the chance to meet even more people I have not had the opportunity to meet yet. My journey is only just beginning. Thank you for being part of it.
