Definition of an Indie game is rather easy, just need to put an explanatory step first:

An indie developer is a developer totally indepedent from any bigger party like a publisher

An Indie Game is a game developed by an Indie developer not related in any way to any bigger party (like being a game from an IP owned by a publisher and also not published by one)

So no, since all AAA studios are part of or subcontracted to some publisher, it's impossible atm for an AAA studio to create an Indie game
