This is not a question that is being avoided. It is a question that has already been answered because AI already solves or helps to solve miriad problems in the real world. You could search "applications of AI" and enlighten yourself, but here are a tiny sample off the top of my head:
Fraud detection and prevention
Personalization and recommendation systems
Autonomous vehicles
Spam filters
Smart navigation systems
Inventory management
System control in industrial processes
Increasing crop yields in agriculture
All sorts of use cases in finance
Diagnosis in healthcare
Image and sound intelligent upscaling
etc etc etc
These are all real use cases of AI which are in place already.
