No.

But lots of progress in pattern recognition & classification. So whatever AI exists can see better, hear better, speak better.

Unfortunately nothing remotely approaching the intelligence of a cat or dog, much less a human being, has appeared except in very limited domains.

Even machines with the intelligence of a fruit fly or lizard are useful, if you can industrialize the application of them. That is essentially how Alpha Go works.
