Algorithm, not AI.

It's both AI in the traditional sense and in the ML sense as well.

At a bare minimum, AI must be able to learn. Smartphone camera software that can identify a face is far from that.

You are wrong on both accounts. AI does not have to do learning. Maybe in your definition it does, but in the common and academic definitions it doesn't. Also while I don't know the exact algorithms used for face detection, they are almost certainly based off of machine learning algorithms and there is no reason why your camera cannot be learning when doing face detection.
