Although Google I/O 2023 is roughly two months away (if the search engine keeps it in the date range it took place in years past), technology has already gotten used to pushing data on it based on puzzle-type games that, when completed, give us information about the exact dates in which it will take place. It is certainly a nice tradition that is gaining more and more popularity over time.

So we find out for another year the company has already enabled the page for the event and in it at this moment we find a game which, as is also the tradition, has no indication of what we must do to solve it, which makes it even more difficult. However, we can be sure that it won’t be long before we hear from the first person who has solved this and thus revealed the dates when Google I/O 2023 will take place.

The game starts with a Google Chrome dinosaur running across the screen and then a grid of circles and six separate puzzles that are made up of 0s and 1s appear on the left side. Google says that to start you need to “create a pattern of inputs to generate a collective output«. Instead of running it yourself, you can choose to watch where it says: “Many inputs are needed to complete the final result. Track progress and invite others to join«.

Therefore, we are a few hours away from knowing the dates when Google I/O 2023 will take place, although officially it will still be a while before we know what will play on it. I say officially because I do we can count on two certain protagonists: Android 14 and artificial intelligencemost likely related to Bard, unless the search engine company decides to step on the gas in response to Microsoft opening the beta sometime in March or April.

And at that point, the answer to the new Bing would no longer be enough. We have already seen internet search engines and web browsers start to add AI-based features or plan to do so in the near term. It’s still too early to tell which technology has won the AI ​​war, but it’s clear that either Google is moving fast in this regard, or Microsoft will manage to gain even more distance.
