What I don't yet understand is how this new AI program differs from machine learning. Is AI about broader questions about conversational interactions and interpretability, closer to the Lisp heydays of 5 decades ago, or more about applications than theory?

Edit: years to decades

From the article:

> The bachelor's degree in AI will focus more on how complex inputs — such as vision, language and huge databases — are used to make decisions or enhance human capabilities

My understanding is that AI is more about applying ML concepts to mimic human intelligence.
