Contextual Data

This meme makes fun of the origins, existence and attention given to Artificial Intelligence. The basic components of Artificial Intelligence are Statistics and Mathematics but since Statistics and Math are old terms that are associated with Academia, the tech industry has rebranded them as Artificial Intelligence. Statistics was originally framed as Machine Learning then as Artificial Intelligence so as to gain more audience and attention.AI is basically Statistics since it depends on probabilities to make decisions. The tech industry is just reframing the same old ideas so as to gain an audience and sell products.
