Danny Sullivan from Google said that while its search systems are not looking for EAT specifically, Google does hope the outcome of the search results that the algorithm outputs "align with what a good human EAT assessment would be."

Danny Sullivan posted this on Twitter:

Google aims for the same outcome but the signals the algorithms look for are different from what signals humans are looking for.

This all goes back to Google saying there is not EAT score.
