Both business intelligence and machine learning are narrower terms with a more specific meaning. Business intelligence has the connotation of a certain set of techniques (e.g. reporting, SQL, querying, PowerPoint presentations) while machine learning is a fairly specific set of tools that is much narrower than what most software data scientists do. E.g. I'm a software data scientist and I spend much more time on descriptive statistics than machine learning.

Yes, I agree that both ML and BI are narrower definitions compared to that of data science.
