Search Is Dead? The Future of Search: How OpenAI, TikTok, and AI Are Reinventing Discovery, Knowledge, and the Internet
Rethinking Search in the Age of AI — The Next Decade of Search Starts Here
Episode 01 of "Rethinking the World in the Age of AI" — a six-part series
Every era has one question it can't stop asking. Ours is this: what happens when intelligence stops being scarce?
Over six evenings, this series follows that question wherever it leads — from the search box to AI agents that work while you sleep, from the engine rooms of compute powering it all to robots entering the physical world, from AI pushing the boundaries of science to the question that belongs to everyone: what should we build?
Six episodes. One story:
01 · Rethinking Search — The Next Decade of Search Starts Here
02 · Rethinking Agents — The Next Decade of Work Starts Here
03 · Rethinking Infrastructure — The Next Decade of Compute Starts Here
04 · Rethinking the Physical World — The Next Decade of Robotics Starts Here
05 · Rethinking Science — The Next Decade of Discovery Starts Here
06 · Rethinking What We Build — The Next Decade of Building Starts Here
The story begins where the internet began: search.
For more than two decades, search has been the primary gateway to the world's knowledge. Today, that gateway is being reinvented.
Large language models, AI agents, multimodal systems, and reasoning models are fundamentally changing how people discover information, make decisions, and interact with knowledge. Search is evolving from retrieving links to delivering intelligence.
The next generation of search won't be built by a single company. It will emerge from the combined efforts of researchers, AI labs, product leaders, startups, and investors.
Join us for an exclusive evening exploring one of the most important transformations in technology.
Featured Perspectives
AI Industry — How are frontier AI companies designing intelligent search, reasoning systems, AI agents, and conversational interfaces?
Product Innovation — How are global consumer platforms reimagining discovery, recommendations, and user experience in the AI era?
Topics We'll Explore
How search is evolving beyond keywords into reasoning and intelligence
AI agents as the next generation of information discovery
The convergence of search, recommendation, and personalized assistants
The future of AI-native advertising and monetization
Frontier research driving the next wave of search technologies
Investment opportunities across the AI search ecosystem
What founders should build in the post-search era
Whether you're building AI products, investing in frontier technologies, conducting research, or simply curious about where AI is headed, this forum offers an opportunity to hear directly from the people shaping the future of information.
Search is no longer just about finding answers. It's becoming the operating system for how humans think, learn, and make decisions.
Join us as we explore what comes next.
The future of search won't be won by a single company. It will be shaped by an ecosystem of researchers pushing scientific boundaries, entrepreneurs building new products, AI labs creating frontier models, and investors backing the next generation of innovation.
This is only Episode 01. Over five more evenings, we'll follow intelligence out of the search box — into agents, infrastructure, the physical world, science, and what we build next.
Join the conversation shaping how the world will discover knowledge in the age of AI.
Free, and For the Community
This series is completely free and non-profit. No tickets, no paywall — just people who care about where AI is going, in one room.
It's part of a larger belief we act on at Loomus.ai: intelligence should be accessible to everyone, everywhere.
That's why we've also used AI agents to build free learning tools for communities where access to frontier AI resources is still limited — including Vietnam and beyond — curating AI research papers and organizing them into knowledge graphs, so that anyone, anywhere, can follow the frontier.
If this mission resonates with you, we'd love your support:
Founders: the stage is open. If you're building a startup, come present it to the room — no sponsorship required. Just show us what you're building, founders help founders.
