Apart from that Google has introduced new APIs that can support the core AI system that can create efficient Android App Development solution.

ML Kit

ML Kit is an SDK designed for the developers to especially integrate pre-built machine learning models for into applications. The interesting fact about ML Kit is that it is available for both iOS and Android developers. This has expanded the horizons for the utilization of AI into applications developed on all major platforms.

The first day of Google I/O was definitely filled with innovative discoveries that will definitely prove beneficial for developers as well as the users of Android. The applications of AI are efficiently used by Google to help the developers create efficient applications. The event will still run for two more days during which we can surely expect excellence from Google and the team working on these innovative features.
