FACTOR is pleased to announce our Week 3 discussion, which will be led by Dr Justin Lo:<\/p>\n

TITLE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Public trust in digital data & evidence<\/p>\n

ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Week 3, we are planning to have a discussion on public trust in digital data and evidence. This is inspired by a few reports that I have recently come across, all broadly linked to this theme and with interesting commonalities, and I thought it would be worth having a think what the issues outlined in these reports mean for the forensic and security areas. I\u2019ll present a brief summary in the beginning, but I also invite you to have a quick read (none of them are particularly lengthy):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. CETaS report on UK public attitudes to national security data processing: Assessing human and machine intrusion (linked)<\/a> (The report is long, but there is a good executive summary.)<\/li>\n
  2. Williams et al. (2026). Public perceptions of speech technology trust in the United Kingdom<\/a>.\u00a0Computer Speech & Language<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Trust in Forensic Science Evidence (2024) Project Launch Event Report<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
