Causal Inference for Everyday - Question Claims from OpenAI to Trump
Welcome to the first edition of the "Weekly Causal Insights", where we question causal claims in the most significant news from last week. To do so, we apply the framework, The Causal Mindset”, which is a set of accessible and practical tools grounded in causal inference (the scientific way of questioning causality).
My goal is to empower you against abusive claims, misinformation and manipulation, and hence support your decision making. This newsletter not only helps you to separate facts from fiction from past events, but also teaches you how to spot future issues. As a bonus, this newsletter offers rich real-life examples for people teaching causal inference.
This first issue contains:
1. Politics & Media Influence: "From Elon Musk to Carlos Espina: Meet the Influencers Shaping the US Election"
2. Sports & Social Dynamics: "Raygun and Australian Officials Speak Out Against ‘Hate’ Over Olympic Breaking"
3. Geopolitics & Military Strategy: "Ukraine's Invasion of Russia is Showing How Good it is at Hitting Putin's Weak Spots"
4. Technology & Power Dynamics: "Mark Cuban Says 'Everybody's Chasing Power, And Nothing Will Give You More Power Than Military And AI'"
5. Cybersecurity & AI Ethics: "OpenAI Says It Caught a ChatGPT-Powered ‘Iranian Influence Operation’"
If you want to apply these concepts to your own situations or articles, head to the https://causalmindset.com to access the free companion App.
