Google is adding more Android to ChromeOS

Google announced on Wednesday that ChromeOS will “soon be developed on a larger part of the Android stack” so it can roll out AI features at a faster pace. The company says it will adopt things like the Android Linux kernel and Android framework “as part of the foundation of ChromeOS.”

According to Google, these changes won’t just mean more AI features. The company also said they will help “simplify engineering efforts” and “help different devices like phones and accessories work better with Chromebooks,” As explained in detail in a blog post,

Google certainly wants Chromebook users to try out as many AI-powered features as possible, so these changes will likely speed that up. But the company warns that although the changes to the tech stack are “just starting to roll out,” they “won’t be ready for consumers for quite some time.”
