Check out the climate change ai[0] community! There are many people working on the interesting interface between ai and relevant problems.

I think the main thing to take into account that many of these problems and organisations still live in an age of 200X tech, so already implementing current age practices can result in great improvements (although this does not result in flashy press announcments or papers).
