From the course: Agentic AI Design Patterns for GenAI and Predictive AI
Causal inference
- Organizations are increasingly relying on predictive AI to provide them with strategic guidance. When a well-trained AI system produces a prediction, it is often taken into serious consideration. However, basing a high stakes decision only on an AI systems prediction can be a very bad idea because despite how well it's been trained, it may still not take all the necessary factors into account, and it may still not have a full understanding of what will happen when that decision is made. The causal inference pattern introduces a process that attempts to predetermine the outcome of making a decision based on a prediction before that decision is actually made in the real world. The term causal in relation to this pattern refers to the cause and effect of making a decision based on a prediction and the outcome of having made that decision. The pattern introduces a causal inference agent that receives the prediction made by…
