Google integrates Android into ChromeOS, accelerating the development of AI capabilities

2024-06-13

Google announced on Wednesday that ChromeOS will soon be developed on the majority of the Android stack to accelerate the launch of AI features. The company revealed that it will use components such as the Android Linux kernel and Android framework as the foundation of ChromeOS.


Google emphasized that these changes are not only aimed at increasing AI capabilities. The company also pointed out that these changes will "simplify engineering work" and "facilitate better collaboration between different devices, such as smartphones and accessories, and Chromebooks." Detailed information has been published in a blog post.

Google certainly hopes that Chromebook users will be able to experience more AI features, so these changes may accelerate the realization of this goal. However, the company also reminds that although the updates to the technology stack have been initiated, they will not be "consumer-ready" in the short term.

Meanwhile, if you are a user of the Chromebook Plus laptop, you can already use the Gemini feature on your home screen.
