Technically, yes. Ice ages are not continuous periods of cold, but rather have cycles of colder glacial periods and warmer interglacial periods. We are currently in an interglacial period.
It is possible that there will be another ice age in the future, but it is expected to occur in hundreds of thousands or even millions of years from now due to natural climate cycles. Human-induced global warming is currently offsetting the cooling effects that would typically initiate an ice age.
The term for the coldest phase of a climate cycle is "glacial period" or "ice age". During a glacial period, Earth experiences lower global temperatures and an expansion of ice sheets.
It is currently not possible for humans to directly cause an ice age. Ice ages are primarily influenced by natural factors such as changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt over long time scales. While human activities contribute to climate change, including global warming, the extent to which these activities could potentially trigger an ice age remains uncertain.
We are currently in an interglacial period, known as the Holocene epoch, which began around 11,700 years ago. We are not in an ice age, which is characterized by extensive glaciation and lower global temperatures.
During an ice age, the climate is characterized by colder temperatures, extensive ice sheets covering large portions of the Earth, and lower sea levels due to the formation of glaciers. The climate is generally drier, with reduced precipitation and changes in weather patterns. Additionally, there can be significant fluctuations in temperature and periods of rapid climate change.

We are currently in an interglacial period within the ice age which started about 2.6 million years ago.

during the ice age
Suddenly very cold.
individual pulses of extra cold climate are termed.
it's warmer and drier now, than during the Ice Ages
Yes. We currently live in an "interglacial period" of the Quaternary Ice Age. Some people confuse "ice age" with a "glacial period" within an ice age.
The fifth Ice Age film is currently in production, and is scheduled for release on July 15, 2016.
