With AI being used in ever more parts of technology, it is not surprising that a layperson wants to clarify if such technology is being applied here.
Apple has been advertising the usage of AI in dealing with photos ("Deep Fusion" of 2019 IIRC), so the suspicion is warranted.
Also, things like Deep Fusion are capture-time technologies, they don't alter the photo or video each time it's viewed. There's also already precedent in US courts for handling automatic enhancements applied to digital camera evidence.
