    This isn’t an AI newsletter per se, in the sense that I don’t always write about it.

    — 10 min read If you've been following the news about Google's I/O conference at all, you probably know that it was all about artificial intelligence — and that isn't an exaggeration. Literally every announcement, every feature, and every app demonstration involved AI in some form or another.
