  > Machine Learning algorithms and Artificial Neural Networks are still mostly adequate terms for what's going on in the industry thus abusing of term "AI" (artificial intelligence) makes it just a marketing BS. It's true that the terms ML and ANN predate the current hype but they were introduced/kept in use for the same reason: talking in mathematical terms does not excite research grant decision makers or business customers. Neural is a buzzword, it's easy to interpret for laypeople. If you talk about Latent Dirichlet Allocation, Support Vector Regression, Projection Pursuit, Principal Component Analysis, Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces, Reverse-Mode Automatic Differentiation etc etc, then people yawn. Why do we call linear programming "programming"? It has nothing to do with machine instructions. The answer: the name was made up for the hype and for securing research grants, when math funding was dry, but CS research was popular. Why call "dynamic programming" like that? What's dynamic about it? Because the inventor wanted a name nobody can object to and sounds buzzy enough. People try to name things in sexy ways to gain an edge.
