Abstract
AEGIS advances generative AI that is fit for decision-making by grounding models in interventions, counterfactuals, and calibrated uncertainty. The workshop, held during ACM KDD 2026 conference, convenes researchers and practitioners in causality, LLMs, and prescriptive analytics to address when and how generative systems should recommend actions in healthcare and public policy. We invite methods that couple structural causal reasoning with LLMs, diffusion and sequence models; techniques for off-policy evaluation, dynamic treatment regimes, and feedback-aware learning; semi-synthetic benchmarks and governance practices; and measures beyond predictive fidelity, including policy regret, counterfactual calibration, and safety constraints. The program will feature a keynote talk and peer-reviewed presentations. By aligning with KDD's emphasis on trustworthy, scalable AI, AEGIS endeavors to establish shared evaluation protocols and artifacts that make prescriptive models reliable under distribution shift, so recommendations remain robust and accountable from development to deployment across settings and populations.
Reinforcement learning (RL) offers a natural language for healthcare decisions whose conse- quences unfold over time, yet most reported progress remains far from routine intervention. Ex- isting surveys organize the field by algorithm or clinical application. We instead review healthcare RL through an evidence ladder:...
Real-world evidence (RWE) plays an expanding role in regulatory, health technology assessment (HTA), and lifecycle decision-making, prompting a rapid increase in guidance documents intended to support its generation and use. This commentary argues that additional guidance is not redundant; rather, it is necessary to su...
Peer review and editorial triage together are the cornerstones of scientific credibility yet their combined cracks are increasingly visible. As real-world data and digital health technologies have become increasingly important sources of evidence generation, many promising submissions from under-resourced settings rece...

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in high-stakes environments, including infrastructure auditing, medical assessment, legal analysis, and peer review. However, these failures arise less from knowledge limitations than from systematic misinterpretation of modality (fact vs. possibility) and unstable...
Introduction Climate and health challenges increasingly require behaviorally informed approaches that complement structural policy tools. Nudging—changes in choice architecture designed to pull or push people in certain directions—has become widely used across climate and public health domains. However, its application...
