Strong AI is a terrible terminology. I understand that the term is widely used and accepted.
When people say Strong AI they often mean Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Weak AI by comparison is an even poorer term. What is usually meant is narrowly applied AI, and even, just usually, application-specific uses of machine learning.
But these narrow AI systems aren't weak. In fact, we're using those narrow applications of machine learning for some powerful applications. They're just not AGI.
In this article, Strong AI is used twice: in the title and once in some passing remark in the article. In neither case is it referring to AGI specifically. As such, what is not meant is Strong AI in the way that is accepted but perhaps just "highly trained" AI, or machine learning with lots of data. Regardless, the use of Strong AI in this article seems unnecessary and gratuitous
