Beyond the Hype: Relearning how to model the World

This article explores the overreliance on pure machine learning for modelling complex real-world systems, arguing it leads to brittle and non-causal models. It advocates for a hybrid future that integrates mechanistic modelling for structural understanding with data-driven techniques, guided by human expertise.
