Judea Pearl

Judea Pearl is a renowned computer scientist and philosopher known for his work in artificial intelligence and understanding causality—the study of cause-and-effect relationships. He developed mathematical frameworks, like Bayesian networks, that help computers reason about what might cause particular outcomes. His innovations enable machines to better interpret data, make predictions, and support decision-making in complex situations. Pearl’s contributions have significantly advanced fields such as medicine, economics, and science by improving how we understand and simulate causal relationships rather than just correlations.
