Listen "The Impact of Search on Society"
Episode Synopsis
This panel was held at the 2023 ADM+S Web Search Revolution Symposium on 17 August at RMIT University, and online.
With billions of queries serviced every day, web search has profoundly reshaped the way we relate to information. But search has itself been reshaped by law, regulation, markets, user interactions, and other social forces. This panel asks: how can we understand the historical evolution of search from a social perspective? What has search done to us, and what have we done to search? And how can future search systems be designed to avoid some of the mistakes made in the past?
Speakers,
Assoc Prof Ramon Lobato, RMIT University (chair)
Louisa Bartolo, Queensland University of Technology
Prof Dan Angus, Queensland University of Technology
Prof Kimberlee Weatherall, University of Sydney
Prof Alistair Moffat, University of Melbourne
