What is an expert?

My boss (Gary) has just (last week) delivered a public talk upon experts as part of an event called "Should I listen to experts?". The video has now been posted here. It covers the thorny topic of what is an expert and what are they useful for. He covers topics previously posted in this blog including wisdom of the crowds (Crowd sourcing) including the Google section of an episode of The Code, experts as a decision aid and Bayes theorem. It is a pretty good precis of what our group does in our research programme.
