That's already the case for most of history. Many events were only written down centuries after the fact by biased historians. Even further back in time we can really only make vague guesses from archeological evidence.
Whether it's AI or a human coming up with historical fiction, it will never be exactly as it was. On the other hand an AI can be trained on everything we know about a given period, which is very unlikely for a human fiction author.

And that's assuming you spent significant effort learning history on your own, acquiring knowledge from contemporary and past historians. If you're relying just on history lessons from schools, then that has an extra layer of political and cultural bias on top.
That extra layer is fortunately the easiest one to deal with - it peels off once you start diffing your history books with equivalent ones from a different country (or even from your own country, but couple decades earlier). But it still requires some investment (time, knowing another language), and hardly anyone tries it.
