IMHO that broad conception is part of the abuse of the concept up to the point that another adjective (general, 🤷🏼♂️) must be added to recover its original intention… I have problems to recognise “inteligence” in a boosted decision tree… machine learning techniques looks to me much more appropriate as a concept
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.
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”).
AI is a much broader topic, including “trivial” stuff like search trees. You are talking about AGI, where the G stands for General.

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