People still need to be told where sandwich shops are. If you walk by any given commercial space, you either need to see that it is indeed a restaurant, or have an explicit mention of sandwiches in order to make a guess at the probability of being able to get one there. Reasoning about restaurants isn't the purpose of the research presented here though.
There is no one thing called AI. AI could involve one or more of search algorithms, object recognition, parsing, statistical reasoning, state machines, and several other things. None of these on their own would be considered AI, but their research is crucial to developing AI.
