Alphabet has officially announced that its highly anticipated annual developer conference, Google I/O, will take place on May 19 and 20. The news was shared by CEO Sundar Pichai through a post on X, generating excitement among tech enthusiasts worldwide. The conference will be held at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California, and attendees will have the opportunity to watch the event live via the conference's official website. This year's agenda is expected to feature significant updates to the Gemini AI models, alongside a variety of other artificial intelligence products. There is also speculation that Google may unveil its much-anticipated smart glasses. In a prior announcement made in December, Google revealed plans to launch its first AI-powered glasses by 2026. The market for smart glasses has been booming, particularly following the success of Meta's Ray-Ban models. EssilorLuxottica, the manufacturer of Ray-Bans, reported that sales of Meta's AI glasses skyrocketed in 2025, with over 7 million units sold. Furthermore, in 2025, Google I/O highlighted a collaboration with Warby Parker for smart glasses, pointing toward a promising future for wearable technology.
