Researchers have introduced Causal Foundation Models (CFMs), which leverage pretrained neural networks to estimate causal effects on new datasets through in-context learning. This approach eliminates the need for fine-tuning, a departure from traditional causal inference methods that require bespoke pipelines for each problem. CFMs aim to bring the foundation model paradigm, already prevalent in machine learning, to the field of causal inference, enabling the estimation of quantities like average treatment effect on novel datasets.
