(I think Stockfish would be classified as AI in computer science. I.e., you’d learn about the basic algorithms behind it in a textbook on AI. Maybe you mean that Stockfish was non-ML, or that it had handcrafted heuristics?)
My understanding is that starting in late 2020 with the release of Stockfish 12, Stockfish would probably be considered AI, but before that it would not be. I am, of course, willing to change this view based on additional information.
The original Alpha Zero- Stockfish match was in 2017, so if the above is correct, I think referring to Stockfish as non-AI makes sense.
