Humans Use Counterfactuals to Reason About Causality. Can AI?
Briefly

Causality is vital across multiple fields like law, computer science, and economics, impacting the development of more humanlike AI by understanding human capacity for counterfactual simulation.
Gerstenberg and team's computational simulation model predicts how people assign causal responsibility to objects or social agents, critical for AI systems to emulate human judgment.
Gerstenberg emphasizes the significance of understanding causal cognition for AI development, ethical concerns, and societal implications.
Research on causal cognition and counterfactual simulation is crucial for AI to simulate causal scenarios accurately for assigning blame in legal contexts, highlighting the need for ethical considerations.
