Yes, absolutely. I'm an AI researcher, and most of my colleagues just use their desktop computers with a standard GPU to do their work. Of course, long-running jobs get put on the cloud, as do large distributed jobs, but those are surprisingly rare. We just submitted a paper, for instance, that is entirely CPU based, and required running 4 CPUs for a few days to reproduce (and even then, you can reproduce 90% of the paper within minutes on a single machine).
