[Commlist] The Web Search Revolution: The Past, Present, and Future of Web Search – Google, ChatGPT, Bing, and Beyond

The world of search has undergone a remarkable transformation, from 
simple keyword queries to a complex, all-pervasive automated 
decision-making system.

With this year marking two important anniversaries: 25 years since 
Google’s founding and 30 years since the release of the first web search 
engine, JumpStation, it’s a timely opportunity to reflect on the 
profound impact of search on society. The rise in prominence of ChatGPT 
and other generative AI systems also offers an opportunity to examine 
the future of information access.

Join us for the *The Web Search Revolution: The Past, Present, and 
Future of Web Search – Google, ChatGPT, Bing, and Beyond 
<https://www.admscentre.org.au/event/web-search-revolution/>*, a one-day 
interdisciplinary event that will delve into the history, evolution, and 
future of search. Our speakers, including distinguished researchers in 
the field of search engines and industry experts, will explore the 
following questions:

  * What has been the societal impact of this near-ubiquitous technology?
  * What lessons can we learn from the success and pitfalls of
    introducing search to large-scale platforms?
  * How will generative AI shape the future of information access?

The event will culminate in a lively evening debate: Generative AI 
Should Be Stopped!
