The easiest way I could think to describe these two subjects is as follows. Autonomic computing is any system that is capable of managing itself, e.g. self configuration, self troubleshooting, etc. Often autonomic computing is pre-programmed problems and setup that can be programmed into the software. A.I. on the other hand is a lot more complex and must be programmed to work out a lot more complicated issues that are not as predictable.

The articles on these two subjects on Wikipedia seemed fairly easy to read and understand may want to check them out.
