> while the device, using AI, tracks the child’s eye movements

Sure do wish that people would just stop blindly reprinting a company's claims of AI use, without asking what exactly they mean.

Like, rad as hell if this works. But when they say AI, do they just mean an algorithm? At this point, the term has become virtually meaningless, almost becoming synonymous with "computer technology".

I remember reading about something like this way before the current AI craze.

Didn't seem that complicated or at least that was the way it was explained, just a matter of checking whether the child was looking more at faces, eyes or objects. Does seem like something some AI could do.

I bet it boils down to using a machine learning model for eye tracking with the analysis done with normal algorithms.

Does it matter? There is no clear definition what AI is. Does you definition of AI include thermostats?

Good point, yeah. We should probably just start saying “pattern matching” instead of AI for this type of tech

Pattern matching is a type of AI.
