AI has meant different things to different people in different times. I think his NLS was designed to capture all of (your|a company’s|humanity’s) knowledge and then giving you the information you need when you need it at your fingertips, even with any blanks or conclusions or summaries already filled in. That is, to me, the same thing as a system knowing how Aristotle would have answered your question. (Jobs, in his speech, also, didn’t call this “AI“. He just spoke of “computers”.)
And yet when Licklider asked Engelbart to add AI to Engelbart's project, Engelbart chose to lose Licklider's support (and soon after lost his federal funding IIUC) rather than do that.
