I think it should be able to revolutionize diagnostic medicine. The issue today is what the doctor can remember and think of. For example, live in Florida or Texas and doctors know the symptoms that could be an infection caused by amoebas which is easily treatable. Go on vacation, swim in a lake that has amoebas and get infected, then go home to your northern state and you might die. All because the doctor doesn’t know what to look for.
Just one example. Think Dr. House on steroids… rather than Vicodin.
Enter symptoms and follow the prompts. Perform tests as requested by computer. Results fed into computer. And so on. All of the hospitals connected and anonymized data shared in real-time. Catch outbreaks sooner. Quicker diagnoses, less mistakes, and a much higher success rate with non-common ailments. The entirety of our medical knowledge in the computer as a starting point and the AI learns from there.
Political will to address global warming in a genuine way. Fast-forward like 50 years and imagine talking to someone.
"So, you knew it was going to be like this?"
"I mean, kind of. People said it might happen."
"All this death? Losing so much of the planet? We reorganized our whole society, what's left of it, just around trying to heal the damage the best that we can. But you had the chance still with all the infrastructure functioning. You had money, you had organization, you had technology and resources. Why didn't you do something?"
"I mean, we had some programs."
"No, I mean you. Why didn't you do something? Did you do just like everyone else and keeping driving around and showing up for work?"
"Well, I had rent..."
"... Brazil's gone. Central Africa's gone. Nothing usable grows below the arctic circle, and the weather makes it tough down there anyway. We live here, and it's okay, but we're always hungry. Always. You see me. I'm hungry right now, I ate yesterday, but I'm hungry."

"You had rent? ... What are your kids' names? I can check in the system, I can see if they made it or not, where they are if they're alive."
