Abstract

The First Search Futures Workshop, in conjunction with the Fourty-sixth European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR) 2024, looked into the future of search to ask questions such as: ˆ How can we harness the power of generative AI to enhance, improve and re-imagine Information Retrieval (IR)? ˆ What are the principles and fundamental rights that the field of Information Retrieval should strive to uphold? ˆ How can we build trustworthy IR systems in light of Large Language Models and their ability to generate content at super human speeds? ˆ What new applications and affordances does generative AI offer and enable, and can we go back to the future, and do what we only dreamed of previously?
