This is how I like to think about it: the term Artificial Intelligence is like artificial sweetener. It isn't sugar.

Machine Learning is artificial intelligence. When / if computers (or whatever they evolve in to) actually become intelligent we'll have to drop the the word artificial.

Artificial, adjective:

1. made by human skill; produced by humans (opposed to natural ). eg. artificial flowers.

2. imitation; simulated; sham. eg. artificial vanilla flavouring.

3. lacking naturalness or spontaneity; forced; contrived; feigned. eg. an artificial smile.

Artificial in this context means "man-made", not "fake" or something. If we create intelligence, it is artificial intelligence.
