They're calling everything "AI" nowadays... this sort of learning algorithm is old as fuck, here's a 8yo example. The main differences between both situations is 1) some sensor(s) being used to "tell" the algorithm about the board state, and 2) the barebones robotic arms messing with the board.
I don't get what the issue is calling it AI?
AI implies intelligence. This is just a simple algorithm
Not really. Can you write this specific simpele algorithm out in a few lines? Its Computer Vision (which I admit uses probably quite a simple algorithm to find the ball) and a reinforcement learning algorithm with one goal; get the ball from start to finish, these are your only 2 inputs. They didn't write the algorithm. Time and the neural network did the rest on its own. That's were the artificial 'intelligence' is referring to, humans didn't put any algorithm there.
