Solve AI is kind of vague

Send your DNA to sequencing.com. Use AI to map all defects in DNA samples. Repair DNA after repairing DNA life expectancy rises. More alive scientists with age of 100+ age with AI will solve aging because they can longer use their expertise.

I'd prefer we look to establish a hybrid super intelligence rather than an AGI. A combination of man and machine both willing to work together. There is nothing we can task an AGI to that could not be considered slavery. A synthetic but thinking being bound to serve humans by force is not something we should look to exploit.

Assuming they're conscious this would be a problem -- but most of the things we would consider "slavery" could be done with non-conscious agents. This is also true of most jobs -- they wouldn't need to be conscious and self-aware to replace most of the mundane drudgery.

It's an open question whether consciousness can be simulated (I think it's probably far, far into the future or impossible). However, a synthetic superintelligence is in the process of being created and that is something we need to start preparing for in the near term. I think that will be disruptive enough to keep everyone busy for decades.

An AGI will take about half an hour to cook up a virtual zimboe (p-zombie) expert system that will pass a Turing test without experiencing qualia.
That and copies of the vzimbo will be available to work for people.

Not AI, but AGI

AGI is probably not needed for this. Understanding and manipulating biological systems is a pretty specific problem for which narrow AI can be made. It's mainly about having a good model (which we largely have now but AI models are not general enough to represent them well yet), generating a hypothesis to explain an observation / disease state (the main use of the AI), testing the hypothesis (the hard part currently) and then updating the model with the new information.

Of course, if completely new chemistry needs to be invented to solve some of these problems, then the AI needs to be more general. I don't think that's the case with something like biological ageing though.
