Not anymore in common usage. ML is roughly "learning from data". AI has had some historical meanings, but in the last 10 years became first a marketing term for Deep Learning (a subset of ML) and now a term for LLMs and Diffusion Models (and the like). Which are subsets of deep learning.
There still exist people who refer to AI as the general study of computerizing intelligence, just like somebody somewhere is still telling people that "begs the question" means dodging it. But the most applicable definition of AI as it's commonly used right now is the as the brand under which OpenAI and friends are releasing generative neutral neural network models.
- tedmiston 3y agoI'm not really following what your argument for "ML is not a subset of AI in common usage" here is exactly. AI as an umbrella term has been the usage in the whole CS field for decades upon decades. A few marketing people trying to hijack and misuse the term over the past 5–10 years didn't just magically change the meaning that has been very well established for a long time.
- nottorp 3y ago> marketing term for Deep Learning Deep learning is just neural networks. With multiple layers ("deep") because we only recently have built hardware that can handle "deep" neural networks fast enough. They've still been defined in the 1970s.
