ABSTRACT

This paper explores the integration of artificial intelligence and causal inference in social science research, focusing on causal deep learning. We examine key theories including Pearl's Structural Causal Model, Rubin's Potential Outcomes Framework, and Schölkopf's Causal Representation Learning. Methodologies such as structural causal models with deep learning, counterfactual reasoning, and causal discovery algorithms are discussed. The paper presents applications in social media analysis, economic policy, public health, and education, demonstrating how causal deep learning enables nuanced understanding of complex social phenomena. Key challenges addressed include model complexity, causal identification, interpretability, and ethical considerations like fairness and privacy. Future research directions include developing new AI architectures, real-time causal inference, and multi-domain generalization. While limitations exist, causal deep learning shows significant potential for enhancing social science research and informing evidence-based policy-making, contributing to addressing complex social challenges globally.
