What the roll of AI in this? A single RaspberryPi with an accurate time source could give continuously updating inputs to a field of mirrors to be aimed for the most optimal heating potential. Tracking the movement of the earth and sun for the next thousand (million?) years doesn’t require AI to make concentrating solar power work.

It seems to be more concentrated than alternatives to achieve higher temperatures, which presumably needs very precise focusing and taking into account minute tolerance differences between the mirrors.
