Computer vision is low hanging in the sense that you already have everything you need to make positive contributions to the study. I think the same is true with ML in general, but it was specific about what type of ML, which hangs higher due to the data availability.

Are you saying that programmers that are not working directly on saving lives are essentially wasting their time? There are a lot of interesting ML problems that do not save lives, but they are still worth working on.
