In a world dominated by data and correlations, making good decisions requires understanding what truly causes what. The Causal Mindset Handbook is a clear, non-technical guide to causal reasoning and causal inference, designed to help readers think more clearly about cause and effect. Rather than focusing on complex statistics, the book introduces intuitive concepts and visual tools, such as causal graphs and counterfactual thinking, to evaluate claims, measure impact, and avoid common reasoning traps. Readers learn how causal inference differs from predictive models, and why correlation alone is not enough for sound decision-making. Drawing on real-world case studies from business, policy, and everyday life, the book shows how causal thinking works when perfect experiments are not possible. Designed for managers, analysts, policymakers, and curious professionals, it combines hands-on exercises with access to an interactive companion app, enabling readers to practice evidence-based decision-making with confidence.Foreword by Pr. Karim R. Lakhani, Harvard Business School, Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard, Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard.
The Challenge to AI. The Future of AGI: Bridging Human Cognition and Artificial Intelligence
Mercury Learning and Information, Stephen Robbins
This book invites readers to explore where AI, consciousness, and human cognition intersect. It challenges existing notions in AI and cognitive science by arguing that true intelligence lies not in software but in the brain's complex biochemical system, far removed from current AI architectures. Through examining time, perception, language, and thought, the book presents a compelling case for the indispensability of biology and consciousness in cognition, highlighting the profound differences between man and machine.The journey begins with an introduction to AGI and the brain's resonance, moving through philosophical perspectives on perception and the external world. Readers will delve into the biochemical basis of cognition, exploring implicit and explicit memory, conscious cognition, voluntary actions, and the unique aspects of human speech and generative AI. The book culminates with discussions on affect, space, time, and the requirements for creating a conscious device.Understanding these concepts is crucial for advancing AI and cognitive science. This book transitions readers from conventional views to a new framework that integrates biology and consciousness, blending theory with profound insights.
