Imagine the year is 2050… How will we experience search?

This panel was held at the 2023 ADM+S Web Search Revolution Symposium on 17 August at RMIT University, and online. Although generative AI – and tools like ChatGPT – show that the future of search will certainly be complex, this panel will engage in longer-term stargazing to examine what the reality of search may be in 25-30 years. Through an interactive discussion format, our experts will imagine how people will find and share information, how our workplaces may change, whether dozens of phone apps will continue to define search, and who might own and control these tools and the data they contain. Come along on the journey as we look ahead to the next generation of search. Speakers: Prof Lisa Given, RMIT University (chair) Prof Guido Zuccon, University of Queensland Peter Bailey, Canva Dr Johanne Trippas, RMIT University Prof Jason Potts, RMIT University
