ChromeOS will lean more on the same tech that powers Android

Future versions of ChromeOS will lean more heavily on the same tech that Android is based on. According to Google, this will improve engineering efficiency and make it easier to bring more AI features to Chromebooks.

There are several reasons for this shift, including engineering efficiencies and helping phones and accessories become more compatible with Chromebooks. Google says it will "continue to deliver the unmatched security, consistent look and feel, and extensive management capabilities that ChromeOS users, enterprises and schools love." Given that Android devices are where many users will likelyinteract with the company's AI products most often outside of Search, G Suite and Gmail, it's not too surprising that Google would want to bring some of the same nous to ChromeOS.
