It sounds like they are aiming this entirely at Narrow-AI
applications, and although they occasionally mention "human level"
intelligence, they don't once use the term "AGI" or general
intelligence.
It sounds like their hype department and their technical department
aren't quite in perfect communication!
As far as certain "narrow" applications go, variants of neural-nets
are certainly fairly effective. Furthermore, I believe that their
patent is primarily directed at "conditions of tweak to generate
useful hypotheses".
As far as actually using this for AGI... um... er...
