nail clippers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'artificial intelligence oddly local children accepted' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'digital refinement tool' is the wordplay.
'digital refinement' becomes 'nail' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'tool' becomes 'clippers' (clippers is a kind of tool).
'nail'+'clippers'='NAIL CLIPPERS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for nail clippers that I've seen is " digital processors".)
