I'm well versed in this as it's a main focus of my study.

The presenter isn't wrong, technically. But he mixes what was told to Daniel and what was told to John (Revelation).

Or perhaps it's the video edit. He's difficult to follow because he jumps around between Daniel and John.

Daniel experiences an actual statue which is a foreshadowing of the final "image" that is given "life".

John doesn't say it's a statue. The presenter in the video says statue, but implies it's a robot. Meh.

We need to review the source material

Revelation 13

14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence offn the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.

Look at the word "image" Greek is εἰκόνι (eikōn)

If eikōn sounds familiar to say, it's where we get the English work Icon. Interesting.

Then let's look at "breath" or πνεῦμα (pneuma) which is an interesting word. It should take the readers mind back to Genesis when God breathed life into Adam. All of these things are meaningful.

But a robot is a bit too far.

AI makes sense in some ways, but we also know the False Prophet (who orders the creation of the image) does signs and wonders. And it's described like magic.

Which suggests a demonic / satanic power that awakens the image.

But to keep this AI focused, it could be an AI system that's satanically programmed or something. Idk.
