Explain how the term AI is used in different audiences #13

In the introduction I think we should contextualize the use of AI and it's relation to ML. AI is a very high level term that gets used less as you read papers on methodologies etc where ML and sub-types of ML are more common. We should explain why this is.

Agreed, I will add this. Also, due to the recent developments in automated machine learning techniques it is now possible for biomedical researchers to build competitive machine-learning classifiers without the need for an in-depth understanding of the underlying algorithms. (which begs for accuracy in the documentation of the applied workflows)
