Google is gearing up to introduce a range of cutting-edge AI and machine learning features with the upcoming Pixel 9 series, as reported by Android Authority. This move underscores the tech giant’s commitment to integrating flagship AI capabilities into its devices under the new “Google AI” umbrella.
With a strong emphasis on AI features, Google has been at the forefront of leveraging artificial intelligence in its Pixel lineup, particularly with the introduction of Tensor chipsets in the Pixel 6 series. The anticipation surrounding AI technology has only intensified this focus.
According to leaked information shared by Android Authority, Google AI will encompass a blend of new and existing features. Key highlights include Gemini, Google’s AI assistant available on all Android devices, and Circle to Search, a feature present in various Pixel models and third-party devices, alongside three innovative additions.
One standout feature of Google AI is “Add Me,” designed to ensure everyone is included in group photos. This feature appears to be an enhanced version of the Best Take feature introduced with the Pixel 8 series. Additionally, Pixel Screenshots is an exciting new functionality that allows users to search through their screenshots using on-device AI, enabling them to locate specific images or seek information through a chatbot interface.
Pixel Screenshots offers a more privacy-centric approach compared to Microsoft’s “Recall” feature for Windows by focusing solely on manually captured screenshots with user permission. Another anticipated addition is Studio, likely an image (and potentially video) generation tool akin to Apple’s Image Playground that will enhance visual content creation on Pixel devices.
In light of Apple’s recent announcement of “Apple Intelligence” featuring advanced AI capabilities for iPhones and iPads later this year, Google AI aims to level the playing field by enhancing its offerings. Despite already having Gemini chatbot integration in place for some time now, Google is poised to unveil its latest Pixel 9 lineup at a special event scheduled for August 13.
Stay tuned for more updates as we delve deeper into the exciting world of Google’s innovative AI features with the upcoming Pixel 9 series.
