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 CerfIntelligenza artificialeAspetti filosoficiUONC098809FIIntelligenza ArtificialeAspetti socialiUONC060731FIUSNew YorkUONL000050PearlJudeaUONV29516128574MackenzieDanaUONV29516242461Penguin BooksUONV246450650ITSOL20250613RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00523071SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI A 2.0 0219 SI 50938 5 0219 BuonoSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI2024183 1J 20240216Bolla n. 55 del 14.3.2024.
