Turing Award Winner Judea Pearl on LLM Predictions and Causality
yudapearl · x · 2026-08-10
Conjecture Institute released an in-depth conversation video featuring Turing Award winner Judea Pearl and @ryanlpeterman.
The discussion primarily focuses on the history of early AI, the core theories of causality, and a deep analysis of the predictive capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). As a leading authority on causality, Pearl's insights are highly inspiring for understanding the boundaries of current LLMs and the underlying logic required for AGI.
