I've also been involved with projects that were retro-activly renamed to AI. Implemented a new oldskool search algorithm? That's AI now! Simple decision tree with static weights? AI!
Nobody wants investors or customers to think you're doing a bad job not putting AI in stuff, even if it doesn't really help or isn't a use case for anything related to AI.
To be fair, simple decision trees with static weights used to be AI. Look, I learned how to do A* search from an AI textbook. AI is just algorithms with delusions.
