I find it hard to wrap my head around this question because "AI" is a relative (and moving) target.
Alexa would be considered advanced AI in the 90s, wouldn't it? Google Search or Facebook ad targeting might be, too. They certainly fit some definition of ML.
It sounds like you're thinking of companies that are doing simple data analysis and calling it AI, right?

Agreed. Google Search encompasses some of the biggest ideas of AI.
Also all the advanced image recognition/classification/manipulation that's powering a lot of Facebook's products. Definitely AI territory.
