Future of Law Dundee: What can we learn from the Post Office Horizon IT miscarriage of justice?

Description

The Post Office IT miscarriage of justice is an over 20-year-long scandal in which over 700 sub-postmasters & sub-postmistresses were prosecuted for theft, false accounting & fraud as a result of a malfunctioning accounting system.

We present a panel discussion on the Post Office Horizon IT miscarriage of justice, and what the legal systems, forensic experts and others can learn from the issues which arose around digital evidence. How we can do better in the future where more automated and AI systems are likely to be used?
