You are right and when thinking about it I can see 2 problems which I hope in the future can have even more impact:

1. Using AI to determine the most efficient methods of doing mathematical expressions, transformations and computation algorithms - division, square root, maybe traveling salesman - these which take relatively high amount of CPU cycles to compute and are used everywhere. If inputs and outputs can be assigned to it, AI can eventually build a transformation which can be reproduced using a silicon.

2. Physics phenomena in general, not only organic protein, can be measured and with sufficient ability to quantize them to inputs and experimentally obtained outputs to train the network, we could in theory establish new formulas or constants and progress the understanding of the Universe.
