How is ML a subset of AI?

Machine learning isn't about developing anything intelligent at all, its about optimizing well defined problem spaces for algorithms defined by humans. Intelligence is much more self guided and has almost nothing to do with finding the best approximate solution to a specific problem.

> Machine learning (ML) is a field of study in _artificial intelligence_ concerned with the development and study of statistical algorithms that can learn from data and generalise to unseen data, and thus perform tasks without explicit instructions.

You are free to define AI differently but don't be surprised if people don't share your unique definition.

The definition there is correct. ML is a a field of study in AI, that does not make it AI. Thermodynamics is a field of study in physics, that does not mean that thermodynamics is physics.

You know what, I'm going to take a walk.
