Pearl kritis terhadap deep learning sebagai path ke AGI. Argumen:

Korelasi bukan kausalitas
Model deep learning hanya melihat statistical associations, bukan causal mechanisms
Untuk AGI, kita butuh causal models

Pernah bilang: “Deep learning is a curve-fitting exercise, not a model of intelligence.”
