The AI seems much improved from HoI2 as far as I can tell.
The AI is good at holding a front. The real proof of how good it is will be seen when we can see how the naval part works and naval invasions work. and how well the AI holds several fronts and distribute their troops.
In that beta he played the AI will concentrate 100% of their forces to one front. The AI will also not produce any new divisions.
The press preview beta version didn't have naval or strategic AI implemented. That's the reason he managed to drive to Moscow when playing as Finland - no strategic AI to hijack troops from Romanian front and to put them to the Leningrad front.
But the theater AI seems decent - it tries to encircle your troops AND it is able to spot you doing the same, trying to rescue its troops.
It's how Paradox AI have always been constructed - in several layers instead of one big script. At least they built the AI from scratch this time instead of recycling old scripts. And PI hired the guy who single handed wrote all the improved AI scripts for DD and Armageddon, which improved the AI quite a bit from vanilla - anyway, as soon as Armageddon was finished, they hired him on the spot to start working on AI for HoI3.
