I don't see "Automatic design of novel algorithms" in this list.

Can AutoML produce something as novel as a GAN, CapsNet, WaveNet, Transformer, Neural ODE, etc? Is that even considered to be one of its goals?

In my opinion, there's a clear separation between a group of people trying to improve AutoML so that it's more useful in doing all those tasks on the list, and a group of people trying to invent next gen ML algorithms or DL architectures.
