Google Debuts New Hardware, Including Smartphone and VR Headset, With AI at the Core

'Evolving from a mobile-first to an AI-first world'

Google just unveiled a Silicon Valley armada of products under one unifying flag: artificial intelligence.

The tech giant today unveiled a number of new devices including the first Google-branded smartphone, a virtual-reality headset, a voice-activated home assistant, a Wi-Fi router and an updated version of Chromecast. The goal: to put AI software in every device a person owns.

In the opening remarks of his keynote presentation, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the company's goal is to create "a two-way conversation, a natural dialogue" between Google and its users.
