At Google’s developer conference in California, AI breathes new life to familiar platforms

Google kicked off its annual developer conference Tuesday in Mountain View, California, with a more aggressive artificial intelligence strategy incorporated into its most popular products. Alphabet’s Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai had a strong message for the thousands of developers and coders he addressed at a packed Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California, just down the road from Google’s headquarters, assuring them that the company is still innovating at breakneck speed by putting AI at the forefront of nearly every service and product it ships.
