Migration from `ibm_watson_machine_learning`¶

The new ibm_watsonx_ai Python SDK is an upgraded version of ibm_watson_machine_learning. They are similar in usage, but ibm_watsonx_ai is extended with a new functionality and is clear of outdated code.

To migrate to ibm_watsonx_ai, update the imports to the new Python SDK as seen in the steps below. Run the code to see if this is a sufficient change for the migration. If any warnings or errors are raised, you need to make further changes. For more information, see the V1 Migration Guide.
