Great work on this answer, and even beyond it's quality I'm always pleased to see people acknowledging the difference between AI and ML. The former gets bandied about by so many folks in medicine and bioscience because they don't recognize that it's some collection of ML, logic processing, or other systems combined with an agent. I understand it's just a knowledge gap, but I think it's analogous to someone from outside biomed fields conflating basic bioscience and translational bioscience.
In practice I've even seen it hamper collaborations with true AI folks in other fields who might be great partners if they didn't have to be responsible for bridging the fields' "language" gap. Just a specific example of that more general issue on the biomed side, though, and something the education side of my work is focused on addressing.
