"AI", what we used to call "ML" should be able to solve this, at least 10 years ago.

ML has always been considered a subfield of AI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning#Artificial_in...

AI as a field started in 1956, while the term “machine learning” was coined in 1959, as a sub-discipline of it.

That might be a fact in theory, but practically most companies literally did "replace all" of "ML" with "AI" in all their marketing materials and ML-engineers got rebranded as AI-engineers. ML-models are now called AI-models. Because ML is old and busted and AI is the new hotness.
Before it was called ML, it was machine vision, used in applications like quality control since at least the 80's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_vision
