Causal AI in the Field of Diagnosis and Therapy

LMU News

This LMU Newsroom article focuses on the research of our PI Stefan Feuerriegel in the field of AI in diagnosis and therapy. His team is working on a so-called Causal AI, which might be able to predict individual risk changes when taking medication.

«We give the machine rules for recognizing the causal structure and correctly formalizing the problem.»


Stefan Feuerriegel
