Ask HN: What industries are being overlooked by tech?

To all the non technical industry insiders, what area is ripe for disruption by tech and/or AI ?

Engineers tend to have a certain mindset that can miss out on opportunities outside their bubble. Curious what niche or overlooked problems exist outside of startup world's radar..

Not an AI thing, but I think office work in general. The last few years, I think every iteration of any software just give the user more work (and is slower)
