Are you using the term 'AI' incorrectly? – Cassie Kozyrkov – Medium

There, I said it: I don't mind that industry uses'AI' and'machine learning' to mean the same thing. But is it technically correct? And if we pick some nits, who's really using the term'AI' incorrectly? Academia doesn't consider artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) interchangeable, and as an ex-academic I sympathize with their definitions and agree that technically AI is a proper superset of ML which is a proper superset of deep learning. Deep learning (DL) is ML that uses a particular class of algorithms (neural networks) and it's what industry tends to mean when it says AI. How's that for proper? But I also think that most people (and industry) don't particularly care about that distinction and will use language in a less formal way.
