Yesterday I was in Pittsburgh, which is a really special place for me - one of the first cities I visited in the US and where we announced our Grow with Google economic opportunity initiative in 2017. I spent the day with the next generation of technologists, from high schoolers who are starting to explore STEM, to college students embarking on their computer science and technology careers.

First stop - the Pittsburgh Google office where I spoke with students who shared STEM projects that they’re working on, and teachers who are exploring how to bring AI into their classrooms. As part of that, we announced a $25 million fund from Google.org for organizations that are helping educators and students across the US build their AI skills.

Over at Carnegie Mellon University, students showed me around the Robotics Institute and the Mission Control Lab, where I got to see a model of Iris, the smallest rover ever to go to space (very cool). While there, I gave a talk about how AI is accelerating scientific discovery and chatted with President Farnam Jahanian and over 2,000 students. Super inspiring and can't wait to come back!

Another #GoogleIO in the books! Well done to all of our speakers, and a huge thank you to the product teams who have been building the products and features we unveiled on stage, and the developers who joined us from around the world!

We’ve been investing in AI for more than a decade, and last year we launched our Gemini models, our most capable yet. Today was about sharing the progress we’re making to bring Gemini’s multimodal, long context, and agentive capabilities to our products and developers. You can read everything we announced, including product news from Search, Photos, Android, Workspace and more.

We are still in the early days of the AI platform shift. We see so much opportunity ahead, for creators, for developers, for startups, for everyone. Helping to create those opportunities is what drives us — and we’re excited for what’s ahead!
