Android 14 Android 14 is currently available as a preview for developers and those who are willing to experiment with beta software.

Google is expected to reveal many of these features at Google I/O 2023 and is also planning to release Android 14 Beta 2 in May. Google’s big bet on AI According to a report by the New York Times, Google responded urgently to the launch of ChatGPT, GPT-4 and Bing’s chat-based search by activating a code red internally. In response, the company quickly organized a Live from Paris event to showcase its own chat-based search engine called Google Bard. Although Bard launched as a limited beta in the U.S. and U.K. in March 2023 and has received criticism for its flaws and humorous responses, it and other chatbots may revolutionize the way we use technology in the near future. Recent leaks suggest that Bard may soon be available as a widget on Pixel phones. In addition to Google Bard, the company has other exciting AI innovations that it could unveil at Google I/O this year. The New York Times article highlights several of these, including an image generation studio for creating and editing images, a video summarization tool for generating shorter videos from longer ones, a third iteration of the AI Test Kitchen for testing upcoming AI features publicly, and an unnamed tool to help other companies build their own AI applications.
