The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect by Judea Pearl

The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect by Judea Pearl

While not solely focused on AI, it delves into causal reasoning, an essential aspect of understanding AI algorithms, in an accessible way.

“Correlation is not causation.” This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality — the study of cause and effect — on a firm scientific basis.
