  • No, not at all. AI has always meant more than just ML or any subset. Crack Russell and Norvig’s book. Yes, it was written from an intelligent agent perspective, but absolutely not limited to any form of ML.

    You go to the major AI conferences—AAAI or IJCAI, perhaps, and you will find a wide assortment of studies that have nothing to do with machine learning. Logic foundations of AI? Knowledge representation/reasoning? Decision-theoretic planning? NLP? AI has a ton of relevant subfields, and entire conferences that have nothing to do with ML.

    Hell, for years at major conferences we’ve seen live contests in areas like SAT solving and game playing (based on planning not matchine learning).

    I’ve spent my entire career studying artificial intelligence, and very little of it would be classified as machine learning.
