Abstract: We shall look at AI going beyond correlation based  machine learning. We shall examine the framework proposed for the development of  causal intelligent systems. Causal AI provides a distinct  approach to address problems in different domains. This talk will examine how causal AI enables us to develop new approaches for solving problems in the areas of document image analysis, medical computing, and business analytics to construct robust and explainable solutions.
