A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence
"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. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.
2016年,在大数据的帮助下,人工智能(AI)围棋软件AlphaGo在系列赛中以4:1战胜了世界围棋顶尖高手李世石,震惊了全人类。 当时网络上有人戏谑道:“人工智能赢了不可怕,至少说明它还不懂得韬光隐晦,如果它假装输给人类,那才更加可怕。”这句看似戏言的话,却暗藏了人工智能...
