“True AI should understand the relationship between cause and effect,” says Judea Pearl, a pioneer in artificial intelligence.

Let’s teach machines to understand the question “Why?”. While in the 1980s we created programmes that primarily calculated probabilities (for example, Bayesian networks), this is no longer sufficient….
