Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

discovery optimization techniques to sort through all the
information. Social networks also play a major role.
8. THE MUSIC CONSUMER
...NOW.
Music Access | access to music is not centralized to products
like cassettes or CDs anymore; 1 music file can be spread around
the world – free – with one click. Multiple music store options with
multiple services and payment options compete for the music
consumer's attention.

29. MUSIC LICENSING
The core service must emphasize on domestic repertoire to ensure
quick, mass adoption. Securing licensing deals should be a matter
of partnering with a suitable business model and revenue share.
Acquisition of international repertoire should follow, to make sure a
potential international rollout.
A key strategy is to have a dominant position on domestic
repertoire, and ensure a competitive advantage against potential
international competitors entering the market (i.e. Spotify).
30. MARKETING STRATEGIES
Digital PR campaign and social media features to enhance word-of-
mouth to early adopters
Introducing the service to key music industry figures and celebrities
Lock in artistes with loyal followings to try out the service with their
favorite artist's music
32. MUSIC LICENSING
Even though the service is free for the user, OhDioo will pay
standard fees per stream for all users using the service.
OhDioo will obtain revenues from a multitude of business models, but
the service will generally be free for the user.
33. MUSIC ANALYTICS
We collect user data that covers from age, location down to music
preferences – demographic identifiers crucial for planning marketing and
social media campaigns.
The larger the userbase, the more accurate and detailed the trends and
demographic data is, and the easier it is to construct campaigns
Our data can show more conclusively how to match “bands” to “brands”,
for creating a more mutually beneficial between the music label, the artist and
the brand holder.
With detailed demographics, it is easier to conduct D2C campaigns for a
focused potential audience and measure conversion and activation rates
through music listening and purchasing.
