The Future of Search Looks Very Personal

[ed]

Google is reinventing search — not as a list of links, but as an AI that follows you across your digital life.

According to Google Search VP Robby Stein, the next evolution is:
AI that knows your preferences
AI that predicts what you want
AI that can alert you when something you researched goes on sale
AI that tailors recommendations uniquely to you

This is a massive shift from traditional search, where everyone sees the same results.

Google believes this is the path to a more useful assistant. Critics worry it’s a path to deeper data dependence.

As AI becomes the interface for everything, the question becomes:
How much of yourself are you willing to give Google for convenience?

Search is shifting from generic results to deeply personalized experiences.
