Both RISC and CISC are usually used in the context of describing Turing complete instruction sets. I'm not sure, it's relevant here?

If you want to make a comparison in this flavour: Turing machines are a bit like CPUs in that they can execute arbitrary things in sequence. All the flavours of machine learning are more like GPUs: they do well with oodles of big, parallelisable matrix multiplications interspersed with some simple non-linear transformations.
