Technical talk
Causal Inference Interest Group
For data, research, and product-science audiences. Torty shows where a model explanation stops being a reason to trust the result, and how getting a business to ask a causal question changes the experiment, the metric, and the decision.
Showcase talk
Jean Golding Institute · Bristol Data & AI Showcase
A clear account of what explainable AI can and cannot tell you. Torty walks a mixed room through the limits of an explanation, and how to say that plainly to the people who have to act on the model.
Festival session
Data Science Festival · 16 May 2026
Trustworthy data science needs causality, not only an explanation. This session covers causal diagrams, counterfactuals, and real cases from churn modelling to feature releases, including when to reach for each tool and when an explanation is the wrong one.
From the room
People leave knowing the talk was rigorous, and still easy to use the next morning.
It really was an amazing festival — your seminar was comprehensive, yet really easy to understand!
Excellent talk. There’s always so much more to learn with causal AI.
Your talk was very informative.
