True, but with AI more computing power/data means better models. With medicine, things move slower. If we get a cure for one or two cancer this decade, it would be a massive achievement.

More intelligence, more time (AIs are at different time scales) = faster rate of discoveries

Do we know that ? E.g. with quantum computing, we know that it won't really revolutionize our lives despite the fact that it can solve a new class of problem.

Quantum computing solves new types of problems, and their resolution, or findings from them, improves our lives.
