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? 

That's easy, just look at the games around. AI money was invested in other things, as, except in RTS games like Mummelmann said, other genres have a quite bad AI(covered by great animation effects which does fool some people into thinking that's good AI).
