Confounders: machine learning’s blindspot

By Dan Duffy / July 28, 2026 / Comments Off on Confounders: machine learning’s blindspot

Nine out of every ten machine learning projects in industry never make it beyond an experimental phase and into production. One key factor that accounts for this alarming statistic is that machine learning algorithms can’t identify “confounders”. We explore why blindness to confounders is a big hindrance for AI, before showing why Causal AI, a new category…

Causal Inference for Decision-Making

By Dan Duffy / July 28, 2026 / Comments Off on Causal Inference for Decision-Making

Causal Inference Understanding cause and effect is critical for strategic and organizational decision-making. Current machine learning approaches remain purely based on correlation and prediction, and are limited to analytical insights that only partially address various management decision-making problems.  To generate and evaluate alternative strategic actions in terms of their effect on central business metrics, managers…

Explainable AI (XAI) doesn’t explain enough

By Dan Duffy / July 28, 2026 / Comments Off on Explainable AI (XAI) doesn’t explain enough

Why does explainable AI matter? Explainable AI (“XAI” for short) is AI that humans can understand. To illustrate why explainability matters, take as a simple example an AI system used by a bank to vet mortgage applications. A simple example of an AI use case: an AI model decides which mortgages to approve. There are…

How to Understand the World of Causality

By Dan Duffy / July 28, 2026 / Comments Off on How to Understand the World of Causality

Introduction Map of causality. The world of causality is broadly split into two main domains: Mainland of causal inference: Causal inference is concerned with understanding the effect of the actions you take. Causal inference provides tools which allow you to isolate and calculate the effect of a change within a system- even if that change never…

How Can AI Discover Cause and Effect?

By Dan Duffy / July 28, 2026 / Comments Off on How Can AI Discover Cause and Effect?

“I would rather discover one true cause than gain the kingdom of Persia.” ~ Democritus Until recently, discovering cause-and-effect relationships involved conducting a carefully controlled experiment or else relying on human intuition. Breakthroughs in science and technology have opened up new ways to search for causes. We explain how Causal AI autonomously finds causes, using…
