I think there was some sort of `mea culpa` statement they put out about PS4/Xbox along the lines of `oopsie we forgot to look at those versions and lost the preview copies down the back of the sofa` but none that I aware of about the colony of bugs that live in the PC code.
PR strategy #1: Promise them the world.
Something missing the final product?
Ah, well, you know, technical difficulties, systems too complex to be feasible, didn't work out or something like that.
Plenty of reasons as an excuse cut content in order to deliver on time.
'cause like any good cyberpunk corpo knows: time is money.
The fact it runs (and looks) like a brick on older gen consoles? We're sorry. We'll fix it.
...but hey, 8 million pre-orders! Woo!
Cynicism aside, the foundation is present.
With the pressure of the release gone (despite the backlash they're currently facing), I do hope they spend time and resources on fixing bugs, improving stability and adding content.
If the story is done and over, then I hope they expand and improve what is already available tenfold.

I've listened to the meeting and I think the responder (Kiciński I think?) didn't fully understand the question.
The problem with AI is that it's stupid and barebones, on top of the fact that's it's buggy. He didn't not address it, nor any other gameplay problem.
This was addressed on the quartely call they had on Tuesday, its been classed as a bug and is being fixed. Source: https://www.cdprojekt.com/en/investors/presentations/conference-call-with-the-board_14-12-2020/

I really doubt he was reffering to anything besides obvious bugs with AI. I have no good faith left to assume he considered substantial refactos to the whole AI system/algorithm.
Its possible to still be a bug, there are a few videos now showing cases of the AI actually working.
Hopefully this isn't the only AI in the game though!
Interesting so guess they can drive, gives me a bit more hope
Pretty sure Mr. Kiciński knows not much about Ai and engine programming and just said "yeah it's a bug".
Its crazy to me that half the features and mechanics shown in the trailers arent in the game at the moment (monowire hacking/gorilla arm features etc.) The game feels like it was just barely finished so we could play the story. It feels more like a far cry with dialogue options than an actual rpg. What makes me even more upset is that nobody is talking about this. Everyone is just focussed on the few bugs and glitches. We didnt even get the full game but an alpha version.
to be fair they did not said that this is a bug, Michał Nowakowski said the AI fall under bug category quoting
From my understanding he wanted to say that they will fix this as in current state AI is more like a bug and not actual working feature.
