Introduction to Causality in Machine Learning

Despite the hype around AI, most Machine Learning (ML)-based projects focus on predicting outcomes rather than understanding causality. Indeed, after several AI projects, I realized that ML is great at finding correlations in data, but not causation. In our projects, we try to not fall into the trap of equating correlation with causation. This issue significantly limits our ability to rely on ML for decision-making. From a business perspective, we need to have tools that can understand the causal relationships between data and create ML solutions that can generalize well.
