Norman Fenton is a leading expert in risk, uncertainty, and Bayesian artificial intelligence, known for applying rigorous probabilistic reasoning to complex real-world problems in areas including healthcare, law, and public policy. 

He is Emeritus Professor of Risk at Queen Mary University of London, where he spent much of his academic career. He is also the founder of Agena Ltd, a company specialising in Bayesian network tools for risk modelling and decision support.

​

Over several decades, Professor Fenton has helped pioneer the practical use of Bayesian networks, enabling organisations to make better decisions under uncertainty. His work has been applied across sectors including finance, medicine, legal reasoning, and critical infrastructure.

In recent years, he has also contributed to public debate on the use and misuse of statistical evidence in policymaking, particularly in relation to risk communication and scientific accountability.
