Historically this was very much in the field of AI, which is such a massive field that saying something uses AI is about as useful as saying it uses mathematics. Since the term was first coined it's been constantly misused to refer to much more specific things.

From around when the term was first coined: "artificial intelligence research is concerned with constructing machines (usually programs for general-purpose computers) which exhibit behavior such that, if it were observed in human activity, we would deign to label the behavior 'intelligent.'" [1]

I am somewhat cynically waiting for the AI community to rediscover the last half a century of linear algebra and optimisation techniques.

At some point someone will realise that backpropagation and adjoint solves are the same thing.
