I think he means algorithms. And since up to a couple years ago, before AI became the new tech buzzword
They use machine learning, which is a subset of artificial intelligence. It’s not just a buzzword here.
Admittedly I’m an amateur, but I consider “automation” to encompass algorithms, heuristics, cron jobs, shell scripts, lambdas, basically anything created to do some steps that we’ve already figured out. As I understand it, machine learning uses statistical algorithms. The article makes the process sound like heuristics, though:
I wouldn’t consider any of that kind of automation to be “intelligence.” Most of the stuff we currently call “AI” is the best form of automation that we can create right now, but it’s still not AGI.
It’s ML using gradient boosting, here’s their paper.
Cool
I agree with you that machine learning does qualify as AI, and that it applies here. That wasn’t the original discussion, though. I was just saying that algorithms did not traditionally qualify as AI, up until the recent trend of calling EVERYTHING AI.
