What do you even mean? What we currently call "ai" is a practical application of technologies in the paradigm called "big data".

It really helps to learn a bit about the actual technologies instead of just following the hype. Yes, the hype about "big data" died down, the paradigm and the technologies around it still exist. One of these technologies was applying "deep neural networks" to "big data" datasets, which we now call "AI", which is a stupid marketing hype term. The hype about "AI" will also die down, the technology will continue.

I think Run DMC made a song about this very topic. Recommended.
