Fairly certain the "artificial intelligence" they're describing are the rotten brains of anyone who works for that company.
eg: I search on some medical condition (which I might or might not have) and the next thing I know, all Taboola 'chumbox' blocks are littered with 'ads' (which aren't ads that 'sell' anything) about said condition. Just extremely low quality links with zero value.
Others in this thread mentioned that Taboola used to have literal malware that would replace Google with a google-lookalike. Maybe you have that malware?
