No, this isn't normal and you are at the wrong company. These people seem to have no idea what they really want and no commitment to achieve it. To me it sounds like AI projects for the sake of AI projects.
I have lead several projects in their starting phases. Designed the use cases and the initial architectures. As such, I have seen several projects where managers just wanted something to point at and say "we're doing AI here". We scrapped them before they started or gave them the simple non ml solution they really needed.
Real products were always developed with at least 5 people, even when only one of them was proficient in ml, at least a senior developer took care of the application side of things.
I would recommend to look for other jobs while you continue with your work.
About being stuck, reach out to communities like here or even better your local dev scene with abstract problem descriptions of what you're facing(without leaking internals of course). Most of us still love to solve a puzzle, at least that's how I got into programming ;)
