The Human Genome Project also had "the world's smartest minds" working on it and applications of it, and while it was a remarkable achievement, it still did not deliver the revolution in medicine that was promised.

I'm not so sure about that. Many therapies are being developed right now that are possible because of this exact type of information. The Human Genome Project may not have delivered, but it was the start of something much bigger that does seem to be delivering now. AI will likely be much the same, overhyped at the beginning, but revolutionary in the coming decades.
We're 20 years out from the first complete human genome, and can now generate genomic data so quickly that our storage and analytical systems can't keep up. We have learned a ton about human ancestry but the medical results have been disappointing. It turns out that the genetic architecture of human phenotypes and disease is really complicated!
