CS, at the moment, is an anomaly. With such high demand for CS courses, most colleges aren’t able to fill those positions. No doubt some of them hired some non-PhDs to teach a few basic courses (mostly more programming focused courses). I haven’t seen AI courses taught by non-PhDs myself (that, obviously, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen at some places). Teachng a true AI-related course at a quality intitution definitely requires knowledge from PhD training.
