I've been in computers and software since the 70s. Real progress in "AI" has been minimal. But huge progress has been made in using "AI" as a marketing buzzword.
What we have today are vastly faster processors equipped with vastly more memory, able to run algorithms quickly, on huge data sets, and therefore do things that used to seem impossible, like recognize faces in images. I worked briefly for a company in the facial recognition business; there's no "artificial intelligence" to be found. There are algorithms that scan an image, area by area, using math to pick out 2 similar and vaguely round areas with dark centers; those would be the eyes. Now search the region below them for 2 smaller dark spots and call it a nose; then below that, a vaguely horizontal line slightly darker than its immediate surroundings, possibly curved up or down...
