Surely that title is backwards. I really doubt there is any ML methods that are inspired or based on econometric approaches, but there is no doubt that there exist econometric problems which can be approached using machine learning.

Just so you know, economic regression modelling (the main application econometrics) has existed since the late 1800's. ML has existed since the 1950's. So yes, economists, econometricians and mathematicians who have worked on applied economics would have inspired many aspects of ML, and vice versa.
