>>The term “artificial intelligence” or “AI” has the meaning set forth in 15 U.S.C. 9401(3): a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. Artificial intelligence systems use machine- and human-based inputs to perceive real and virtual environments; abstract such perceptions into models through analysis in an automated manner; and use model inference to formulate options for information or action.

I find the definition of AI to be eerily broad enough to encompass most programs operating on most data inputs. Would this mean that calls to FFmpeg or ImageMagick rolled into a script with some rand() calls would count as an AI system and be under federal purview and enforcement (whatever that means in this context)?
