Causality in Large Language Models
Emre Kijeman discusses the potential of large language models to contribute to causal analysis. While current models may not reason causally, their embedded knowledge offers opportunities to enhance causal analysis by aiding in setting up causal assumptions and critiquing them. This augmentation complements existing methods and provides domain experts with valuable support in identifying plausible causal mechanisms.
