Phil Bradley is retiring! This is your last opportunity to attend his AI Search Power Hour.
Search is no longer just about keywords and rankings—AI is reshaping the entire landscape, and it's happening fast. Traditional search engines are being challenged by a new wave of AI-powered tools that can summarise, analyse, and even anticipate your needs. If you’re still relying solely on Google, you’re already behind.
In this Power Hour, we’ll explore over a dozen cutting-edge AI search engines, carefully curated to provide the best results for librarians and information professionals. But it’s not all good news—AI search brings risks, from misinformation to ethical concerns, and understanding these challenges is just as important as knowing how to use the tools.
What you’ll learn:
· The rapid evolution of AI in search—and why it’s changing everything
· How ChatGPT and other chatbots can enhance your search strategies (even though they aren’t search engines themselves)
· Live demonstrations of AI search engines in action, from DeepSeek to Perplexity and beyond
· How these tools compare to traditional search engines and what that means for information professionals
· The future of AI-driven search—and how you can position yourself as the go-to AI expert in your library or organisation
· AI search is transforming the way we find and verify information. This session will ensure you're equipped to navigate these changes, improve your own search techniques, and help your users do the same. The tools are evolving—make sure you are too.
