OUR TAKE
Google’s “Made by Google” events are usually held in Oct. in San Francisco. However, Google adjusts its launch strategy this year, announcing that 2024 “Made by Google” will be held on Aug. 13, and the venue of event is changed to Google’s Mountain View, California headquarters. Another notable change is that the event is usually announced closer to the date, while Google this time is a month and a half earlier. This may hint at Google’s ambition to set off a big wave in the AI field and render heat for the new release.
