Well as another machine learning researcher, I think you can make a major impact working on problems that aren't in AI.

Now if you are a PL person interested in AI we would love to have you and your expertise!

Oh and if you want to use AI to solve PL problems like program synthesis and program completion, that's cool too.

Haha I was going to say, solving synthesis via PL+AI is way more exciting than either technique alone.
