No, it is true for $ninmathbb N$ if $AB=BA$. For $ninmathbb N$,
$$
(AB)^n=ABABdots AB.
$$



For $nin-mathbb N$ it would be the $|n|$ power of the inverse of $AB$, assuming it is invertible. For $ninmathbb Rbackslashmathbb Z$, this is no-longer well defined. For example matrices tend have many square roots.
