Interesting that the AI understands sunglasses but still "blinks" them like eyes.

Is it really artificial intelligence and not facial recognition plus a series of image transforms

It's not just an image transform, because it has to create facial features that were occluded in the original. (And correctly occluded existing features when the head turns.)

In the video with the sunglasses, for instance, the computer had to invent that ear on our left. (With mixed results -- it looks a bit like Mike Tyson got at it.)
