AI can fuel research in every domain, including healthcare.
Energy is becoming the dominant cost of more and more things. And the transition out of oil is, IMO, the most likely to be a civilization-ending event if we don't do it correctly.
If you love on of these subjects, dive in. Let other well intentioned people go into the other fields, we are many!
And to answer your question, when I was 14-15 yo I stumbled upon the notion of post-scarcity and on the question and AI and what I did not know at the time was called the technological singularity.
I think the creation of human-level AIs will be the most significant invention since the invention of fire or agriculture so this has absorbed most of my thoughts and focus in the last 20 years.
