Bill Gross, Heliogen’s current CEO previously founded eSolar. eSolar proposed using an array of Heliostaticly controlled mirrors to direct light toward a solar cell:

So... I’d guess that part of the eSolar approach is carrying over into Heliogen. The control system for using mirrors seems potentially more complex. I assume you want to direct light from an array of mirrors such that it optimally a single cell. Or so that it covers a number of cells, or such that it optimally avoids defective or low performing cells.
So with, some skepticism, I can kind of see an AI play here.
