I have absolutely no knowledge about AI other that what AI stands for.

I know there must be a hardware component like a z16 loaded with a

Ton of  CP's and something like python to do the work and drive the servos,

I have no idea what the hardware would look like meaning the backplane

And lots of CP boards.

The simplest explanation I can imagine:
AI is very complex set of algorithms operating on very large sets of data.
AI can be offloaded to GPU engines - this is what IBM did with POWER9.
However IBM decided not to pay NVIDIA for GPUs but create their own engines and integrate it with CPU (z16 or POWER10). The advantage is it is very close to the code, so can be called with no I/O, just few cycles away. How to use it? YOU DON'T HAVE TO. BTW: How do we use ICF processors or zIIP or CPACF or sort engine or zEDC?

BTW: there are three popular acronyms: AI, ML and DL. DL is subset of ML, which is subset of AI.
DL - Deep Learning
ML - Machine Learning
AI - Artificial Intelligence.
