What a terrible headline for them to pick. Entanglement was not Einstein's idea. He called it spooky action at a distance because he thought the idea to be absurd.

Mixing science and click bait is the worst... You could say gravitational lensing was detected thanks to "AI" or machine learning algorithms that removed the noise and so on but it wasn't that fancy that time, the important part was the science and now it seems the important part is to put AI in whatever place you can.
This breakthrough has broguht quantum computing from viable in the next 20 years to bring viable in the next 24 years.
The AI tool proposed that entanglement could emerge because the path of photons were indistinguishable: when there are several possible sources the photons could have come from, and if their origins become indistinguishable from one another, then entanglement can be produced between them when none existed before.
This is neat. Like how giving a neural network thousands of hours in Mario makes it learn to beat the game in really weird simple ways that people usually don’t do.
