Yes, it is a necessary part of an AI, but I still wouldn't dare to call it an "AI Algorithm". Overuse of the term poisons the actual AI research field, it's only use is to aid click bait.

It is AI, it is just that not everything called AI is really interesting anymore. This should have attracted interest in the 80's.
