Fuel effciency is big incentivising factor in the airline industry. If we can have an AI control the extra complexity involved to bring safety to a par I can see prototypes being made for further experiments. It is visually interesting though.
Airbus is doing fine with fly-by-wire. They do so because they start with it at the design stage and don't haphazardly change major aerodynamic characteristics without going back to the drawing board and thinking through all the ramifications.
There is much more to say what went wrong and it's fairly well documented in public sources and little of it was because computers (though there is something to be said about the code quality culture at Boeing, but that's a different topic).
