They say "ai" but do they just mean software?

All software is now AI. The sensor that tells your fridge to turn off when it's cold enough? Well that makes a decision of some kind, so AI. The cook timer on your microwave? AI. Your thermostat? Definitely AI.

Old-school AI systems from way back in the day called Expert Systems were just a crapload of IF statements. There's never been a concrete agreed-upon definition of AI because there's never been an agreed-upon definition of the word Intelligence.

Probably machine learning models, as usual. Which may or may not be classified as AI.

Either way, useful in statistical problems like this.

Edit: reading the press release, yep, machine learning.
