I think this is a very constructive proposal. I am definitely on board with it.
I don't see why we should shoehorn these topics into ap-stats. That curriculum is entirely based on classical statistics, which is very useful for what it does.
But suppose there were an ap-ml, where we have word prediction of LLMs, maybe an attempt to teach multi-dim distributions without calculus (ha! I'm seriously skeptical of that, but its your idea), rejection sampling and a suite of easy to code mcmc recipes - MH, Gibbs, Slice Sampling, Importance Sampling, and a dash of Bayesian theory - if there were such a course, it would be quite popular among the high schoolers I work with.
btw, college board does revamp ap curriculum quite often. AP African American Studies was introduced last year. Maybe AP-ML is on the cards.
