Towards a Unified Framework: Machine Learning's Role in Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

In the past ten years, "machine learning" and "artificial intelligence" have become popular
ways to use technology. In research and the media, both terms are often used, sometimes with
the same meaning and sometimes with different ones. The goal of this work is to make the
connection between these terms clearer and, in particular, to explain what machine learning
has to do with artificial intelligence. As part of our review of the relevant literature, we present
a conceptual framework that makes the role of machine learning in creating (fake) intelligent
creatures more clear. So, we want to make the terms more clear and give people from different
fields a place to start talking and doing more study.
