There is certainly a point to be made there, and one that could be made without just using the words incorrectly.
But that would be no fun.
(For the perplexed: see No Evolutions for Corporations or Nanodevices. Attaching too many unrelated meanings to a word is a bad idea that leads to incorrect implicit inferences. Meaning is meaning, even if we don’t quite know what it is, grandma and corporations are not Unfriendly AIs, and natural selection doesn’t produce artificial things.)
Corporations are artificial, and they are intelligent. Therefore, they are artificial intelligences.
(ADDED: Actually this is an unimportant semantic point. What’s important is how much we can learn about something that we all agree we can call “AI”, from corporations. Deciding this on the basis of whether you can apply the name “AI” to them is literally thinking in circles.)

It does, but indirectly.
