Google Gemini live demo failed twice during the Pixel 9 event—reminding us why you can’t always trust AI
Google launched the Pixel 9 series of devices yesterday at the Made by Google event. However, before unveiling the new Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Google demonstrated the new Gemini features through a live demo on stage. But, as luck would have it, the demo failed—not once, but twice. This occurred while trying to showcase how well the new Gemini mobile AI features work with the calendar app by feeding it information through an image. However, once the prompt was submitted via voice, after several seconds of processing, Gemini failed to respond. This happened twice, and it only worked when the device was switched to a different Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
