Depends on whether you use the traditional or vernacular definition of AI. Traditionally it was more about the how not the what. AI was an agent acting rationally in an environment. Pac-Man guided by Dijkstra? That's AI, there's an agent, an environment, and said agent is acting "rationally".

In modern vernacular it has become a synonym for machine learning or sometimes specifically neural networks.
