Google I/O 2024 isn’t over, but the keynote has come and gone. That keynote hasn’t been met with much excitement and, somehow, the official 10-minute recap of Google I/O 2024’s keynote feels just as slow and repetitive as the full thing.
The clear focus of I/O this year is AI, as the technology and how it integrates with Google products took up the entire 2-hours runtime of the keynote. That included some exciting bits, like the reveal of Project Astra, but the handful of exciting reveals were undercut by spending a whole lot of time on the technical aspects of AI.
Google has since posted an official 10-minute recap of its I/O keynote to YouTube and it feels tedious and repetitive, much like the full event. The few exciting announcements, like AI Overviews in Search, Project Astra, and more, make up mere moments of the video despite being some of the biggest announcements. Android, a subject that’s been a key part of I/O for years, is completely left out of the recap – not that it was given much attention in the full event.
