Hard problems:

- Poverty

- Inequality

- Racial Discrimination

- Affordable Health and Education

- Old Age Care

The list goes on. We are 200 years into industrial revolution and have made significant scientific and economic progress. Time we start looking for solutions to the really Hard problems.

That’s a list of topics, but not problems. Need problem statements and definition of terms before they get to be called “hard problems”.

I agree. The question to ask is "how do you boil those problems down to computational problems?". Those problems you've listed are broad but solutions to subproblems would go a long way. I'm surprised this hasn't been explored deeply yet.
