Unraveling cause and effect – causality in AI

Knowing not just what AI predicts but also understanding the causal links behind those predictions can be vital, particularly in domains where decisions carry significant consequences.

In AI, causality explores whether changes in aspects of the data impact the predictions or decisions of the model. For example, in healthcare, understanding the causal links between patient parameters and predicted outcomes helps tailor treatments more effectively. The aim is not just accurate predictions but also understanding the mechanisms behind them for a nuanced and actionable insight into the data.

What-if scenarios – counterfactuals

Counterfactuals further augment the interpretability of AI systems by exploring “what-if” scenarios and considering alternative outcomes. Counterfactual explanations help us understand how changes in input could affect model predictions by tweaking these inputs and observing variations...
