The May Lecture:-

|
Date : 7:30 pm - Wednesday, 14th May
Speaker
Prof. Harold Thimbleby, Professor & Computer Software Consultant Swansea University
Location : Royal Agricultural University - Sir Emrys Jones Lecture Theatre
& CSTS Zoom Channel ID 912 0723 6181
Prof Harold Thimbleby is emeritus professor of computer science at Swansea University; he is a well-known speaker and has given over 600 presentations around the world.
Harold works on fixing the problems that computers create. In 2014 he was an expert witness in a criminal case where he was able to establish hospital computers had created flawed evidence that had led to 73 nurses being accused of being dishonest. It was an NHS scandal mirroring the well-known Post Office Horizon Scandal where close to 1,000 postmasters were convicted of being dishonest because of flawed computer evidence. The experience led to Harold campaigning about the way computers are misunderstood, and the absurd common law presumption that computers are reliable.
