787 Gust Suppression Technology
Seems to be an improvement over similar attempts of previous designs that tried to do this. Time will tell, theoretically I start 787 school in October.

After reading the linked article sounds fine for the punters in back.
My question would be will this system be active for approach and landing in gusty and/or crosswind conditions to help up the pilots up front?
Indicates that it responds to pressure differences around the surfaces of the aircraft before the mass of the aircraft moves.

Other airplanes (L-1011, F-16, F/A-18?) have used "active ailerons" to maintain attitude and relieve transient wing loads. This may be a variation on a theme.
One of the constraints, especially in RVSM, would be altitude hold fidelity, so it may be a much-improved look at the concept...
