Because the current AI boom started around 2010-2016, and the time period to which you are referring ended about 800 years earlier.

So they shouldn't be interested anymore because the last time they were was a long time ago?

Would you say something similar about Italy if they were to be interested about AI (no tech, no space, no chip industries), but couldn't because the last time they were interested in mathematics was during the Renaissance period?

Italy is not an AI hub to my knowledge.

I would be very surprised if high profile AI figures and companies started making ties with them.

What are you getting at?
