In it Google I/O. which has been held a few days ago in San Francisco, and to which we have been able to go to Spanish – the free Android, the company of Mountain View has made clear its future.
Android is still very relevant, but the future of the company goes through artificial intelligencesomething that Google has been saying years but now we begin to see clearly.
That Android had his own event just a week before he advanced it. The great event for developers would focus on AI. Specifically in Gemini.
Already in the MWC we had the opportunity to talk about this with nothing less than Sameer Samat, president of the Android ecosystem in Google, who presumed that Android had integrated the AI very well.
So, Google has understood that Android is a toolthe best but only a tool, to be able to make your AI predominant.
Android as Trojan Horse
The position that Google with Android has is only comparable to Apple’s with iOSbut the company led by Tim Cook has a problem in its approach to AI.
Neither Microsoft, nor Amazon, neither goal nor OpenAi have such a powerful transmission vehicle As Android, and Google knows it and takes advantage of it.
Android has gone from being the key element to sibylinely position its applications and services to be The key element to clearly position its AI.
Gemini is integrated in the majority of company apps, and in the device itself with a button for it. Such a change is not done lightly.

Besides, If users get used to using gemini, they are more likely not to use the competition, such as chatgptwhich is still one of its greatest rivals.
This is not so for the ability of OpenAi’s AI as well as the company directed by Sam Altman in terms of marketing.
Chatgpt entered as an elephant in Cacharrería and Google did not know how to answer well. Let us remember that the first bet was Bard, and that it took a bit to create Gemini as an assistant.
Yes, since then This has been the pillar on which the company’s future is being founded. Mobiles do not remain in the background, but become something else.
Until the glasses and other devices, such as what Jony Ive and Sam Altman prepare, replace smartphones, Android will remain key.
Diminishing importance
But that Android remains relevant does not mean that he does not lose importance. Android begins to look like a hollow system in which important functions are implemented.

In fact, Google It is starting to economically encourage mobile manufacturers to pre -install Gemini, To make their use simple …
What he currently does with the search engine and with Apple is not crazy to end up doing it with his AI, which is speculated that he will reach iOS in the next WWDC.
In addition to the apps and services we already know, AI is the great leap forwardat least until there is a new system that is controlled from top to bottom by voice and language models.
It may be a look at the future that awaits us, or it may be something else, but it seems clear that Android’s relevance as we knew so far has begun to fall.
Android sale
This turn in Google’s strategy is also explained by The threat of the US administration and the European to leave Google.
There has been talk of the possibility of having to sell Chrome or Android, and the company is already preparing for that possibility.
If Android ceases to be a critical element for his future, the sale may not be so necessary. And in the case of giving, it will not be such a hard blow.
Yes indeed, would be to see if a third operating system is not createdIn China, surely, make Android lose more relevance than Google is taking away.
Cars and virtual reality
However, Android is more than mobiles and tablets. The future that passes through connected cars and augmented reality also passes through Android.
Android Automotive and Android XR are two examples that although AI is already the main focus of the company, the operating system remains relevant in growing sectors.
In search
This company’s turn is seen even in other sectors of it, such as Searches. The search engine itself has shown how its future will be, and is very different from what we know.
According to the company itself, the AI mode of the search engine will be able to solve questions and doubts without even making us open a website, which will change all the Internet.
The bet that Google is doing with artificial intelligence seems like a whole or nothing. I may go well, and The consumer electronics sector will change forever.
It may be wrong, and it is another company that takes the relay, like Google, it took Microsoft when the market pivot from personal computers to smartphones.
