The Book of Why
The hugely influential book on how the understanding of causality revolutionized science and the world, by the pioneer of artificial intelligence 'Wonderful ... illuminating and fun to read' Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize-winner and author of Thinking, Fast and Slow 'Correlation does not imply causation.' For decades, this mantra was invoked by scientists in order to avoid taking positions as to whether one thing caused another, such as smoking and cancer, or carbon dioxide and global warming. But today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, sparked by world-renowned computer scientist Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and placed cause and effect on a firm scientific basis. Now, Pearl and science journalist Dana Mackenzie explain causal thinking to general readers for the first time, showing how it allows us to explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It is the essence of human and artificial intelligence. And just as Pearl's discoveries have enabled machines to think better, The Book of Why explains how we too can think better. 'Pearl's accomplishments over the last 30 years have provided the theoretical basis for progress in artificial intelligence and have redefined the term "thinking machine"' Vint Cerf
Summary of Judea Pearl's The Book of Why by Milkyway Media
The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect (2018) explores an underutilized science called causal inference, a tactic which mimics humanity’s natural ability to determine a cause by observing an effect. By employing causal inference, scientists are able to mathematically determine the causes and effects of a given phenomenon... Purchase this in-depth summary to learn more.
Summary of Judea Pearl & Dana Mackenzie's The Book of Why
Buy now to get the main key ideas from Judea Pearl & Dana Mackenzie's The Book of Why After decades of scientists denying causality as a real science because it could not be articulated mathematically, computer scientist Judea Pearl and his students initiated the Causal Revolution, a scientific breakthrough that embraces the human innate cognitive gift of understanding cause and effect and applies it to medical and social sciences. In The Book of Why (2020), Pearl and co-writer Dana Mackenzie browse through the history of statistics, probability, and paradoxes to showcase how human perception is steeped in causality and how emulating this retrospective thinking is the key to unlocking human-level decision-making for artificial intelligence. And it all starts with asking “Why?”
