Discovery Intelligence Challenge 2024
Program Theme
The recent remarkable developments in information technologies have led to the utilization of AI in various fields. These include medicine and justice in which confusing causal relationships with certain correlations can have fatal consequences. Accordingly, there is an urgent need to develop AI that can provide the reasoning behind its outputs. Under these circumstances, a fundamental question has emerged as a practical challenge for the future AI: what is causality? Against these backdrops, this program will hold the two symposia listed below to deepen and broaden our knowledge of causality and causation. The first one aims to deepen our fundamental understanding of causality from different perspectives of philosophy, mathematics, and physics. The second one aims to broaden our practical utilization of it by sharing our efforts in which various causal inference techniques have been applied to complex real-world problems.
