Thank you for giving some insights into ML, that is now often just branded "AI". Just one note though. There is many ML algorithms that do not employ neural networks. They don't have billions of parameters. Especially in binary choice image recognition (looks like cancer or no) stuff like support vector machines achieve great results and they have very few parameters.

Machine learning is a subset of Artificial intelligence, which is a field of research as old as computer science itself

The traditional goals of AI research include reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, learning, natural language processing, perception, and support for robotics.[a] General intelligence—the ability to complete any task performable by a human on an at least equal level—is among the field's long-term goals.[16]
