Most universities ask for GRE as far as I know. Some of them mention explicitly that you need to have an undergraduate in CS related field to apply. MS in ML is pretty specific and demanding and requires good knowledge of Maths and CS courses. Univs need to see that you have some experience or have taken CS courses beforehand.
