The March 2023 Security Patch for Pixel 6 series could come on the 20th of March.
Source
Google had issues in the past with delayed updates for the Pixel 6, like with the Android 12L update. (it took Google two weeks for that one)
It seems like they are having some issues again, as a Google Support person has told on the chat that the March 2023 update for the Pixel 6 series devices will come on the 20th of March 2023.
Take this information with a pinch of salt, as it could not be accurate.

Pixel 8 Pro renders have been leaked
Source
OnLeaks and SmartPrix have shared renders of a Pixel 8 Pro which is more rounded compared to previous models and now features a flat display panel.
There's a 6.7 inch display with a center placed hole punch. Its size measures at 162.6 × 76.5 × 8.7mm and is about 12mm thick with the camera bump.
The camera bump has gotten some changes: all three lenses are now under one piece of glass and there's a new sensor under the flash. It could be a depth sensor, laser autofocus, LiDAR or something else.

Besides the Pixel 8 Pro renders, OnLeaks and MySmartPrice have shared renders of the Pixel 8 which is also more rounded like the Pixel 8 Pro.
The Pixel 8 features a 6.2 inch display with a center placed hole punch. Its size measures at 150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9mm and is about 12mm thick with the camera bump.
Unlike the Pixel 8 Pro, the Pixel 8's camera bump has not been changed significantly. There are two cameras and a rear flash.
It's likely that we'll see the phone during Google I/O 2023.

Oops! Small correction:
OnLeaks, the leaker of the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro renders has announced that the displays aren't 5.8 and 6.52 inches wide respectively.
The displays are actually:
• Pixel 8 - about 6.2"
• Pixel 8 Pro - about 6.7"
The rest of the measurements are accurate. We have fixed the posts for the mistake.

Google Workplace gain new AI-powered features
Source
Google has announced a few new features coming to Gmail, Docs, Slides, Sheets, Meet, and Chat.
Using AI, you'll be able to:
• write a draft, reply, summarize, and polish your Gmail emails
• brainstorm, proofread, write, and rewrite in Docs
• make a presentation and auto-generate images, audio, and video in Slides
• go from raw data to insights and analysis via auto completion, formula generation, and contextual categorization in Sheets
• generate new backgrounds and capture notes in Meet
• enable workflows for getting things done in Chat
For example on Gmail, you can type a topic you want, and you'll get a draft that you can refine and edit with suggestions. Afterwards, you can make it sound formal, shorten/elaborate, or if you're feeling lucky have AI make it more fun.
These features will roll out to trusted testers in the United States this month.
