Or simply statistical modelling. I think there are methodological differences though. To me ML seems like a massive p-value fishing operation.

Do you mind elaborating? I can't think of any methods that explicitly (or implicitly) use p-values. The only place in the industry I have seen p-values used is AB-testing, but most seem to be trying to move to a multi-armed bandit, bayesian methodology.
