"DeepMind AI learns simple physics like a baby" clearly makes an unduly image out of it. Calling it PLATO evokes an image of an ancient human philosopher. No other field uses as many bold comparisons to humans as artificial intelligence (its name alone is one).

"The name of AI": we call "intelligent" in this convention that which finds solutions - normally the natural intelligence of a professional, sometimes the artificial intelligence of a computerized system. As easy as that. It works, no intrinsic issue.
This experiment: children seem to rely on expectations in learning and this ANN based system tries to implement some form of "expectation based learning". No problem.
