AI has already sped up finding solutions to protein folding problems. This is revolutionary because otherwise these would be intractable problems with previous gen modeling approaches. Finding a proteins structure means understanding disease pathways better, or finding new therapies for prevention it treatment.

AI has also found new antibiotic, called Halicin. This discovery was not derivative of current penicillin base anyibiotics, and was only possibly by using AI

This depends on what you consider AI

Pacemakers today monitor for anomalies in your heartbeat and will jolt your heart back into rhythm. Does having a pacemaker make you a cyborg?

In a less invasive way, we're all tethered to our phones, and on then connected to global platform networks (like reddit), we're dependent on these networks and devices for everything from social connection to daily planning, getting directions, etc.

AI in these platforms is ubiquitous
