Causal AI and Its Applications

This book, "Causal AI and Its Applications," is born out of the necessity to bridge this gap. It is an invitation to journey beyond correlation and into the world of causation. Causal AI is not just another subfield of machine learning; it is a paradigm shift that reorients our focus from mere prediction to deep understanding, from passive observation to active intervention. It is the science of asking "what if?" questions and getting principled, data-driven answers. What if we change our marketing strategy? What if we approve a new medical treatment? What if we implement a new economic policy? Answering these questions is impossible without a causal framework.



Key Features:


1. Practical, Hands-on Approach: Every theoretical concept is paired with a Hands-on Lab section, featuring Python code, popular libraries (DoWhy, Causal-Learn, CausalNex), and simple datasets to ensure you learn by doing.
2. End-to-End Capstone Project: The final chapter is a complete, working capstone project that guides you through solving a real-world problem—from defining the causal question to implementing the code and interpreting the results for stakeholders.
3. Clear Theoretical Foundations: Complex topics like Structural Causal Models (SCMs) and the do-calculus are demystified with simple language, intuitive diagrams, and step-by-step examples.
4. Real-World Case Studies: Each application chapter includes detailed case studies that show how Causal AI is used at companies and research institutions to solve high-impact problems in marketing, finance, medicine, and policy-making.
5. Updated and Relevant Content: The book covers the latest advancements in the field, including the intersection of Causal AI with modern machine learning topics like fairness, explainability (XAI), and reinforcement learning.
6. Accessible for All: Written for students and practitioners, the book requires only a basic understanding of probability and Python, making it accessible to a broad audience.
7. By the end of this book, you will not just be a user of AI tools; you will be a scientific thinker capable of building more robust, ethical, and intelligent systems that can reason about the world in a fundamentally deeper way.


This book addresses a critical need in modern data science and AI education. While most curricula focus on predictive modeling, this text champions a new way of thinking—causal reasoning. It provides a structured journey from the fundamental philosophy of causation to the practical application of cutting-edge algorithms for discovering causal relationships and estimating the impact of interventions.
