I don't think they've got AI reading your screen, but they definitely have AI listening to conversations and noises that happen anywhere in the vicinity of a powered-on phone. I think that this, combined with the unfathomably powerful, dystopian network of data and analysis thereof is enough to explain all these little """coincidences""" we see with internet ads. And we only really notice when it hits the nail so directly on the head that you think, "wtf, how are you reading my mind???" But other times it's laughably off the mark, like when it shows me advertisements about the all new bucket of fresh uncooked animal guts from Local Restaurant, or shows me ads for reversing male pattern baldness, or for child care products, etc.

I think the other way around is more likely. It's well known that Google reads your Gmail emails (and their attachments), so odds are they read whatever you pull up in Chrome, or on your Chromebook, or your Android, etc. There's a good chance they can pull your data from non-Google sources, too, given how much shit has contacts with Google at some level. And if they aren't, Amazon, Microsoft, or Apple probably is.
On the other side, we don't have any concrete evidence of Google turning your phone into an always-on listening device (at least not on a mass scale). I'm guessing that would be a lot more computationally intense, too, although that's out of my depth.
