[Brown Bag] Next Frontiers of AI for Business Decision Making: Multimodality and Causality Meet with LLMs and Agentic AI by Prof. Xueming Luo, Fox School of Business at Temple University
Abstract: Marketing, customer, employee, firm disclosure data have become increasingly multimodal, simultaneously conveying visual, auditory, and textual information. Most prior studies adopt a “signal-by-signal” AI approach, using LLM to extract visual, textual, and audio features separately. Yet... consumers integrate facial expressions, gestures, vocal tone, and contextual cues to construct meaning. Ignoring these cross-modal interactions can therefore produce biased estimates and incomplete theoretical understanding. Furthermore, prior research often treats extracted visual, textual, and audio features as exogenous, overlooking endogeneity and unobserved confounders in unstructured data. Because creators strategically choose language, imagery, and vocal expressions, focal treatments may be confounded by latent factors such as design aesthetics, persuasion, authenticity, and audience targeting. Consequently, even LLM-based predictive reasoning AI models cannot reliably identify causal treatment effects from unstructured data. To address these limitations, I will introduce methodological frameworks that integrate advances from multisensory AI, multimodal foundation models, and emerging causal inference techniques for generative AI systems. Specifically, I will discuss state-of-the-art methods for modeling cross-modal interactions through attention mechanisms, multimodal representation learning, and modality fusion architectures, alongside recent developments in causal machine learning and representation-based deconfounding, so as to generate more credible causal inference from large-scale video, image, audio, and language data. Whether you are a PhD student, faculty member, or industry practitioner, this session will provide actionable insights into the next frontier of AI-powered research and practice for business decision making.more
