Data Science programs often put too little emphasis on causal inference, and it’s hurting their graduates on the job market! The econometrics people are coming for your jobs lol

When teaching computer science and artificial intelligence, I often come across expressions that circulate like mantras. They are repeated frequently, rarely questioned, yet prove surprisingly hard to define with precision.
What does it mean to develop AI in favor of people?

Do LLMs really understand language—or just shuffle symbols?
In my latest Substack, I unpack the Octopus thought experiment and explore two fresh arguments that challenge the “stochastic parrot” view.

Meaningful Language Understanding in LLMs
Do LLMs understand language, or do they only process symbols statistically?

L’ètica s’aplica a la pregunta i al disseny de l’experiment!
I'm not sure it's ethical to be conducting associational studies for such socially important exposures as smartphone use in schools.
Either conduct a causal study or don't do anything. Demonstrating the presence or absence of non causal association is not helpful and may end up being misleading.
