Google. Google posted a wrap-up of the Dialogues stage at I/O 2026, the smaller-format track that ran alongside the main keynote and grouped leadership conversations into agents, quantum and AI, science, robotics, and creativity. Sundar Pichai sat with Matt Berman of Future Forward for a post-keynote debrief, while Josh Woodward, Koray Kavukcuoglu, Liz Reid, and Jeff Dean joined Logan Kilpatrick to discuss how proactive AI agents are reshaping productivity in the Spark and Antigravity era. Hartmut Neven and James Manyika covered the quantum and AI overlap, Demis Hassabis spoke with Axios on AI for science, and DeepMind’s Kanishka Rao joined Boston Dynamics’ Alberto Rodriguez to talk embodied physical AI, with director Doug Liman and 30 Ninjas closing out the creativity track alongside Google’s Mira Lane. All sessions are now available on YouTube. Source
