They have sensors that detects waves and adjusts the hydrofoils to avoid crashing into the water.

If one would like to use hype words I guess one could call them AI-driven hydrofoils or something

Control is the word you are looking for.

It is a _control_ system that takes sensor _inputs_ and _outputs_ hydrofoil tilt actuation.

It maybe controlled by undergraduate Control Theory or some secret sauce predictive model but making a claim in either direction is speculation.
