Came here to say this. Asimov’s Multivac was the epitome of ML.
I specifically remember a short story by him where one member of the population would be selected to be interviewed by Multivac and Multivac would then extrapolate out his answers to the whole population and be able to accurately pick who the population wanted to be president, removing the need for an expensive election. If that isn’t ML, I don’t know what is.
