Google is about to share more about its work in artificial intelligence. Next week, Google will host an event on how it’s using the power of artificial intelligence to reinvent the way people search, explore and interact with information, making it more natural and intuitive than ever to find what you need, according to a invitation sent to The Verge. The 40-minute event will be streamed on YouTube on February 8 at 8:30am ET.

The timing of the event is interesting given that Google CEO Sundar Pichai just announced that the company is planning to let people directly interact with its latest and most powerful language models as a search companion soon. Google, long the de facto way to find information on the Internet, is likely facing some pressure from Microsoft, which is reportedly planning to integrate ChatGPT into Bing. This could allow Bing to serve smarter summaries and results, something Google has struggled with.

Of course, it is very likely that the presentation is more about the tools we already knew; the invitation contains references to Google Lens, Translate, Shopping and Maps. It would be hard to complain if the show is just about minor improvements to those tools, as these can make a huge difference to some of the millions of people who use them every day.
