A new paper published on arXiv by Andreas and Günther introduces a definition of actual causation based on factual difference-making. The authors of the paper argue that this definition encompasses three previously competing types of accounts: factual difference-making, counterfactual difference-making, and regularity-based. However, the paper's analysis suggests that these distinctions are not meaningful, as the factual difference-making definition inherently includes the other two. This finding potentially undermines all seven of the authors' previously proposed accounts. AI
IMPACT This research challenges existing frameworks for understanding causation in AI, potentially impacting how AI systems reason about cause and effect.
