Solving problems isn't an obvious good, or at least it shouldn't be. There are in fact bad problems.

For example, MKUltra tried to solve a problem: "How can I manipulate my fellow man?" That problem still exists today, and you bet AI is being employed to try to solve it.

History is littered with problems such as these.
