The AE-1 lenses have Canon's FD breech-lock lens mount. They are not compatible with Canon's later EF lens mount.

It may be possible to find an adapter, but performance would be lost, and the lens will not have the features of an EF lens. Best to save your money and get a dedicated lens, either Canon or Sigma.

Is a canon AE-1 lens compatible with any canon digital SLR?

Yes, via a lens adapter available from aftermarket producers. All Canon FD lens to Canon EOS lens mount adapters will contain an optical element to provide correct focus at infinity.
