All ML is AI. Not all AI is ML.
ML is just the current darling of AI.
It’s like asking “are electric vehicles synonymous with cars”. No. Most discussion about cars today focus on EVs, but the vast majority are still ICE.
Similarly, most deployed AI solutions today still are not ML. ML is just what people are talking about because ML is experiencing significant growth and research.

Naieve Bayes Classifiers, support vector machines, decision trees, k-means clustering... these are part of machine learning but not AI. They may be sometimes used in AI, but so are processors and memory chips but those aren't AI either.
"Modern AI" is almost entirely made of neural networks, which is merely one of the topics in machine learning. Older AI was based on things like A*, formal logic systems, fuzzy logic, etc., little of which is "machine learning".

ermm... you got it in reverse. AI is a sub-field of Machine Learning, which in itself is a sub-field of Statistical Learning. For example, linear regression is generally not consider AI but it's most definitely the corner stone of ML/SL

To me, a linear regression is part of Machine Learning, and, thus, part of the broader vision of AI. Even though linear regressions are old statistical models and probably existed long before the term ML.The linear regression algorithm is learning from data (i.e. improves the line fitting after observing more data. hence, it is ML in my book) -- it just has a very limited hypothesis space. It will only ever fit a straight line (or hyperplane, in the general case). It is not a general learner like a Deep Neural Network which can approximate any function.

“Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence, which is broadly defined as the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior. Artificial intelligence systems are used to perform complex tasks in a way that is similar to how humans solve problems.”

“Machine learning is one of the most exciting recent technologies in Artificial Intelligence.”
Linear regression is used in ML, but it is neither ML not AI. LR is a statistical model. That’s like saying some equation is used in calculus, but “not in math” so calculus isn’t a subset of mathematics.
Sorry bud, but you definitely have it reversed.
