Everything can improve, it just depends on how much developers and publishers are willing to invest into developing those technologies. Half-Life 1 AI's is much more advanced than many modern games, and why? Development costs. Processing power helps, but money is what really matters in the end.

Most games this gen cost 2x the amount that Half Life 1 did. 

 

Money that certainly wasn't invested in AI...

How would you know? 

Exhibit A would be the absolute shit AI in most games today. The only games with a challenge through AI actually being clever are mostly strategy games, turn-based strategy is a lot easier to develop a decent AI for than real time rendered games of any genre.

AI really is the bottleneck for immersion to truly take place in modern games, there really is no doubt about that.
