Keynote Speakers


Climate, Risk and Spreadsheets
What are the real risks of climate change, and what have they got to do with
spreadsheets? Dr Louise Pryor will examine recent developments and discuss what
they are telling us about future possibilities. She will show why many commonly
used climate scenarios are of no use, and what we should use instead. Dr Pryor
will focus on what spreadsheet practitioners need to know and how they should
respond.

Spreadsheets, Risk and the Legal Presumption of Correctness

The science has been certain for over four decades that complex information
presented in spreadsheets is subject to material error. English law however,
presumes that software artefacts, including spreadsheets, are presumed to be
correct. Barrister Stephen Mason examines this contradiction including its
likely permanence and outlines the implications for users of present and future
levels of software technology.

Generative AI's Critical Risks to Spreadsheets
Dr Advait Sarkar, Cambridge University, suggests that Generative AI, with its
tendency to "hallucinate" incorrect results, may exacerbate existing spreadsheet
risks. On the other hand, it may also provide unprecedented opportunities for
users, particularly non-experts, to learn and apply advanced spreadsheet
features and greatly increase the scope and complexity of tasks they can
successfully achieve.

Expressing Spreadsheet Uncertainty with Confidence

People deal with uncertainty every day - durations, demands, prices, rates - but
it is almost impossible for most users to work with uncertain quantities in
spreadsheets. Professor Andy Gordon, University of Edinburgh, will explain
recent advances that allow people to perform Bayesian reasoning by building upon
their existing spreadsheet skills.

Our Speakers

Professor Andy Gordon is Chief Science Officer at software synthesis company
Cogna. He was formerly a Partner Research Manager at Microsoft Research in
Cambridge, UK where he led a diverse team of researchers and engineers to evolve
Microsoft Excel.

Dr Louise Pryor is an actuary specialising in climate change and sustainability.
She is currently Chair of the Ecology Building Society and an Honorary Professor
at UCL’s Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction.

Dr Advait Sarkar from the University of Cambridge, studies human-computer
interaction, with a focus on end-user programming, intelligent systems, and the
future of work. This includes research on improving the design of spreadsheets,
tools for visualisation, the analysis of data and tools for communication and
collaboration in the workplace.

Mr Stephen Mason is a barrister with an interest in electronic signatures,
authentication, security, electronic evidence, email and internet use and the
interception and monitoring of communications. He is an Associate Research
Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in London.
