I mean you can call it AI to sound fancy, but in the end they're just using computation to predict the properties of a material and then optimizing for certain properties. If that's all it takes to call something AI then it would have been more impressive to find a new design without using AI.
Basically I'm not sure why this is touted as 'AI comes up', instead of 'scientists use computer to'.
