In general seems a weird idea to me to think that any "AI" will solve what humans can't. Their most ambitious goal is something like an artificial human, on the dumb side at that.

We can have a real human in ~20 years with the fraction of energy their "AI" requires. We already have plenty and they don't deliver that magic they promise.

I think it's just completely clueless people being hellbent on getting from computer science the only thing they think they understand to be valuable in it.

Either that or they want to have an oracle king, plausibly magical and wise in appearances, so that his solutions would have authority, while being, of course, fed to it by the controlling powers. A Mechanical Turk, only bigger.
