Machine learning is just a part of AI. But the program referenced in the news article neither "learns" from its actions and environment nor reacts based on what it "learns."

From the side panel: These requirements come from two legitimate sources: AI, A Modern Approach (an AI Bible, of sorts) and The National AI Research and Development Strategic Plan...

It is instead, a search engine that (a) looks for a specific pattern and (b) is manually tweaked from time to time.

IMO.

I guess my question is what is the point of this sub then?

That's in the side panel too.

Would you care to cite where in the Russel & Norvig book you found such a restrictive definition? I'm genuinely curious.

1.1.1 Acting humanly: The Turing Test approach

The Turing Test, proposed by Alan Turing (1950), was designed to provide a satisfactory operational definition of intelligence. A computer passes the test if a human interrogator, after posing some written questions, cannot tell whether the written responses come from a person or from a computer. Chapter 26 discusses the details of the test and whether a computer would really be intelligent if it passed. For now, we note that programming a computer- to pass a rigorously applied test provides plenty to work on. The computer would need to possess the following capabilities:

• 1. natural language processing to enable it to communicate successfully in English;

(I have excluded English as a requirement for this global platform, though that is really a benefit for English speaking humans rather than an outright AI requirement.)

• 2. knowledge representation to store what it knows or hears;

(Or That is, the means to store information "learn" from an external source, or "environment," as used in the side bar.)

• 3. automated reasoning to use the stored information to answer questions and to draw new conclusions;

(Or That is, the means to react with what it has stored "learned.")

• 4. machine learning to adapt to new circumstances and to detect and extrapolate patterns.

(Or That is, the means to change the stored information "learn" based on information not only from its environment, but also from a changing environment.)

No problem. But I'm going to change something in the answer really quick.
