I guess they mean the recent success mostly due to modern hardware of 1960s statistical clustering and classification algorithms that for PR and historical purposes some people call "AI", but are currently unknown to have any significant relationship with what we call intelligence.
When we achieve the capabilities of an insect we would be able to call our algorithms "AI" without getting red in the face, as we'd know there's a decent chance we're at least on the path to intelligence. Until then, let's just call them statistical learning. That wouldn't make them any less valuable, but would represent them much more realistically and fairly.
It's funny how how statistics was once considered the worst kind of lie, and now for some it's becoming synonymous with intelligence.
