Guided by AI or just simply using a sophisticated program?

I guess it must be programmed to recognise what a weed looks like to be able to identify it against what isn’t. Is that AI? I have no idea. Seems like everything at the moment is AI.

Most likely it is programmed to if the specific crop at all stages of development and eliminate everything else.
