How is AGI supposed to provide this knowledge? We don't have the knowledge we need to cure disease and aging because the experiments that could potentially provide that knowledge are either too difficult to conduct or can't be conducted ethically and/or legally at all.
There is also an inherently time-bound bottleneck to producing knowledge of this sort. You can't possibly demonstrate a treatment has really increased human lifespan until an entire experimental cohort lifespan passes.
You can conceivable simulate an entire human body at molecular level to sidestep the issue with conducting an RCT with live subjects, but we already have sufficient knowledge of atomic physics and organic chemistry to do that right now. It's just not computationally tractable.
