> Many of the people share similar backgrounds

Not sure where you get that from. I find significant diversity in academic backgrounds amongst the people who do ML/AI. Some folks in my company include: Mathematicians, Biochemists, Physicists and Computer Scientists. I used to work with an awesome person who had a Poly Sci background. So yeah, things are all over the place.
