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 606 $aIntelligenza artificiale$xAspetti filosofici$3UONC098809$2FI 606 $aIntelligenza Artificiale$xAspetti sociali$3UONC060731$2FI 620 $aUS$dNew York$3UONL000050 700 1$aPearl$bJudea$3UONV295161$028574 701 1$aMackenzie$bDana$3UONV295162$042461 712 $aPenguin Books$3UONV246450$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20250613$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00523071 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI A 2.0 0219 $eSI 50938 5 0219 $sBuono 951 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$bSI2024183 1J 20240216Bolla n. 55 del 14.3.2024. 996 $aBook of why$94311580 997 $aUNIOR
