Information Set Emulation: Causal Certificates for AI Derived EHR Features
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.17777v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI and large language models can recover clinically meaningful features from electronic health records (EHRs), but predictive usefulness does not establish admissibility for causal inference. We introduce information set emulation: an AI typed lift attaches source evidence, clinical and recording times, decision-time availability, representation version, proposed causal roles, and unresolved ambiguity to extracted features under a locked target trial. Causal certificates record auditable evidence for those roles. Features with unresolved downst
