What makes two tech giants collaborate on an open source causal AI package?

Emre's adventure with causal inference and causal AI has started before it was trendy.

He's one of the original core developers of DoWhy - one of the most popular and powerful Python libraries for causal inference - and a researcher focused on the intersection of causal inference, causal discovery, generative modeling and social impact.

His unique perspective, inspired by his experience with low-level programming combined with his vivid interest in how humans interact with technology, is driven by a deep seated desire to solve problems that matter to people.

In the episode we discuss:
🔹 What makes Microsoft and Amazon collaborate on an open source Python package?
🔹 Causal AI and the core of science
🔹 Is language model a world model?
🔹 When modeling physics is useful?
