The financial services industry relies on understanding the true drivers of dynamic markets, but current AI systems can only identify correlations. These ‘curve-fitting’ machines are not scalable, require expensive and hard-to-hire teams of data scientists, offer limited explainability and ultimately do not work well for financial markets.
Causal AI is a completely new kind of machine learning (ML), which brings us one step closer to truly intelligent machines. It can understand cause and effect, intuitively incorporate human knowledge, design optimal interventions and imagine counterfactual scenarios - all of which help drive strategy and decision making. Furthermore, it displays superior performance on conventional prediction tasks, having been proven to adapt three times quicker to new market conditions than current ML technology.
Michael Grady, Head of Investment Strategy and Chief Economist at Aviva Investors explains the asset management company’s work with causaLens: “Causal AI plays an ever more important role in our investment analysis. It empowers our strategists and portfolio managers to generate alpha by identifying new causal relationships in economic, financial and alternative data, with sophisticated, adaptive and explainable models that don’t suffer from overfitting.”
Masami Johnston, Head of Information Services at CLS Group explained: “Causal AI enables us to identify significant and unexpected changes in key factors associated with the FX markets, enabling quick reactions to market conditions and enhancing investing strategies.”
Darko Matovski, CEO and Co-Founder of causaLens commented: “We pioneered automated machine learning (AutoML) for time-series data in 2017 and brought immense value to our clients in terms of performance and cost savings. We are proud to have now brought the next level of intelligence to the market. Counterfactual and interventional reasoning, unique features of Causal AI, allow our clients to reach a higher level of automation and intelligence than was previously possible, leading to superior ROI. We have also extended our offering beyond time-series data.”
Further use cases, whitepapers and demonstrations of Causal AI can be found on causaLens’ new website .

FDA Approves Promega OncoMate® MSI Dx Analysis System as Companion Diagnostic for KEYTRUDA® in MSI-High Solid Tumors10.11.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Promega OncoMate® MSI Dx Analysis System designed to identify patients with microsatellite high (MSI-H) solid tumors as a companion diagnostic designed for KEYTRUDA®, Merck’s (known as MSD outside the U.S. and Canada) anti-PD-1 therapy. OncoMate® MSI Dx Analysis System is a PCR-based assay designed to evaluate MSI status in solid tumor tissue. MSI status can be used to inform treatment decisions and support precision oncology strategies. “This approval reflects our dedication to providing meaningful diagnostic advances, developed to the highest quality and regulatory standards,” says Alok Sharma, Global Clinical Market Director at Promega. “Our test connects patients with the therapy most likely to help them, working alongside our pharmaceutical collaborators and the clinicians who use the result.” This approval was supported through a collaboration with Merck, which markets KEYTRUDA®. Together, the companies are working to a

Suzano Publishes First Report Aligned With Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures Recommendations10.11.2026 12:18:00 CET | Press release
Report offers insight on Suzano’s ecosystem health impacts, risks and opportunities, and reinforces its nature strategy Suzano, the world’s largest pulp producer, has published its first report aligned with the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). The TNFD reporting framework helps organizations identify and assess how their dependencies and impacts may generate nature and biodiversity related risks and opportunities, and to disclose how they are integrated into the company’s governance, strategy, and corporate management. Initially focused on Suzano’s direct Brazilian operations, the report establishes methodological foundations, strengthens internal capabilities, and creates a pathway for the gradual expansion of nature-related assessments and disclosures over the coming years. The report also reinforces Suzano’s Nature Strategy, launched in November 2025. As part of its ongoing commitment to stronger management and greater transparency reg
Robbyant Releases LingBot-Touch to Bring General-Purpose Touch Perception to Robots10.11.2026 10:23:00 CET | Press release
Robbyant, an embodied AI company within Ant Group, today announced the open-source release of LingBot-Touch, a tactile foundation model that gives robots a critical missing sense by enabling robust touch perception. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261109284905/en/ LingBot-Touch encodes magnetic tactile, visual tactile, and piezoresistive signals into unified tactile tokens for use by different action models. Pre-trained on nearly 5,000 hours of real-world tactile data, the model covers three mainstream sensing modalities—magnetic tactile, visual tactile, and piezoresistive sensing—and translates their diverse signals into a unified tactile representation. This allows different dexterous hands and action models to share and reuse tactile understanding, enabling robots to not only “see clearer” and “think deeper,” but also “feel sharper” during fine manipulation tasks, such as turning pages, unscrewing bottle ca
