    Yes, I’d say all of machine learning is a subset of the broader field of AI, which just pretty much means “solving problems in an intelligent way”, and it has always been like this. Look up how people talked about Deep Blue, for instance. They certainly called the program an AI and gave it agency.

    This is also a good read: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_artificial_intelligence

      Thanks for the insight! Still I have problems to identify “inteligence” in brutte force approaches, otherwise looks like a linear regression algorithm would lie also under the category of AI, and the original idea of AI, which the Wikipedia acknowledges included “reasoning” capabilities, I feel has not been yet incorporated/disentangled in current predictive algorithms. Whether it rises from things like that, I think we are not there yet and all seems to me not different from a linear regression algorithm, which I do not feel “intelligent” enough to place under AI. But I think everything is too vage also and there is a lot of overselling (including Deep Blue’s “inteligence”).

        I agree with you! The point is that it’s always been like that! By now it’s part of the term. AI has nothing to do with intelligence; it is mereley the attempt to create a smarter alhorithm, aolving new problems.
