Causality in the Age of AI Scaling Workshop on Causality in the Age of AI Scaling (5 May 2026, Tangier, Morocco)

I am excited to announce our Workshop on Causality in the Age of AI Scaling in AISTATS 2026!

- Is scaling sufficient for intelligent systems?

- Can causal abilities emerge from scale?

- What can causal modeling bring that scale cannot?

Submission deadline is February 27th.

Estimating causal effects efficiently doesnโ€™t have to mean discovering the entire causal graph! Now you can find the optimal adjustment from only local information using LOAD!
