No, that's not what the poster wrote. See this part:

So the analysis was that AI has been a scapegoat. That's correct.

The implication is that it was indeed HUMANS who made the decision, and now the US government tries to shift away the blames from their decision onto "AI made a mistake, not we did". It is just not logical to assume this was a mistake in the age of mass surveillance and sniffing on everyone at all times.
