This has already been done for years... Unironically a lot of it has also been using ML for decades. I know people in boring industries like dairy, or paint who have 30 yrs old ml models that work excellently that they maintain. The difference is, their ML is often operating in regulated environments. Because unlike advertising people can die from mistakes. Also the data isn't cheap, can't go on Google and just download a terabyte of it. Not because scientists are sneaky. But because some experiments require five million in equipment and months to aquire. Then, the findings there don't often map to almost anything else in any way shape or form. Statistical models in some fields have to be approved by a government agency or follow standard practices. This can take years and cost a lot of money.
