The progress will come from advances in genomics and neuroscience and it'll probably take longer than a decade for two reasons. One is that we're starting from a place of almost complete ignorance and the other is that even when we understand how the brain works, it's the most complex system known and it'll be the hardest thing humanity has ever tried to fix. I could see AI improving the efficiency of the discovery process, such as speeding up drug discovery and analyzing data generated by the actual scientists, but it's not going to be the deciding factor. There are very smart people who think it's possible to solve these problems but it's going to take a lot of time unfortunately.
