That's my recent experience as well. You have to know the domain and have technical knowledge so that you understand (not in every detail) what AI is actually doing and why. You also have to understand what you want and why you want it.
But once you do, working with AI is like having a very capable team of programmers knowing all programming languages you might need and understanding your goals.
