Google I/O 2026: AI Updates and Smart Glasses Expected!
Alphabet said its annual developer conference, Google I/O, will take place May 19–20, 2026 at the company’s Mountain View headquarters and will be livestreamed. CEO Sundar Pichai announced the dates in a post on X. The event is expected to include updates to Google’s Gemini AI models, other AI products, and could reveal Google’s first smart/AI glasses — a hardware launch Google previously said would arrive in 2026. The article notes Google announced a smart-glasses partnership with Warby Parker at Google I/O 2025 and cites broader market momentum for smart glasses after strong sales of Meta’s Ray-Ban AI glasses.
Google's Android Show to Reveal Android 17, Wear OS 7
Google has scheduled an "Android Show: I/O Edition" for 12 May 2026 at 19:00, one week before its I/O developer conference (starting 19 May). The company plans to showcase Android 17, Wear OS 7 and a new PC-focused system called Aluminium OS. Android 17 is in final beta testing with features such as app bubbles, separate Wi‑Fi and mobile quick-settings tiles, quantum‑resistant protections and a file‑sharing feature similar to Apple's NameDrop. Google is also pushing more AI into the OS via Gemini-based agentic functions; earlier in 2026 it announced agentic features for Pixel 10 and Galaxy S26 in the US and Korea. Android Show, introduced in 2025, is intended to spotlight platform and OS advances ahead of I/O.
US Government Excludes Microsoft from Visa Program
The US government has barred Microsoft from participating in the permanent residency process for foreign workers with H-1B visas, accusing the company of abusing the program. Vice President JD Vance stated that Microsoft laid off 6,000 American employees last year while benefiting from 6,300 H-1B visa holders. The Department of Labor, led by Keith Sonderling, will not accept new permanent residency applications from Microsoft, as well as several consulting firms and Adobe. This action comes weeks before the midterm elections and reflects the Trump administration's broader criticism of the H-1B program, which it claims disadvantages American workers. Microsoft has not yet responded. The move could impact the tech industry's ability to retain skilled foreign talent.
