I'd agree with machine learning falls within the purview of AI -- I'm just saying if all you want to learn is machine learning, then a book on just that subject would probably be more relevant than AIMA. I just got "Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning" by Bishop, and it's a great book.

The Bishop book looks very good, judging from the table of contents.

Perhaps similar, and available as a free ebook: McKay, Information Theory, Inference Theory and Learning Algorithms, http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/mackay/itprnn/book.html
