The ice bucket challenge paid off in real medical breakthroughs within 2 years by raising 115 million. Komen had a HUGE impact on breast cancer research that lead to real medical improvements that saved lives.
If we dumped AI money broadly into almost any field of research we'd see more people shift toward that field to get funding. We'd see struggling projects get the funding they need to continue. We'd see stuff that wasn't pursued because it's a long shot get the funding it needs. Better staffed and equipped labs where work is already being done.
You'd see an explosion in progress over the coming years.
The last time I ever saw our current dipshit of a president (who wasn't president at the time) do anything remotely altruistic was when he had ice water dumped on him for ALS.
