Have you looked into Gridcoin before?
It uses Proof of Research on top of Proof of Stake, which means that the amount of coins you mine depends on how much you research/simulations you do for BOINC. BOINC is a grid-computing platform, that runs all kind of simulations/research programs, in terms of AI for example MindModelling@home, the goal of which is to simulate the human brain: https://mindmodeling.org/
So mining literally consists of simulating the human brain. In contrast to for example curecoin this whole mining by researching also happens in a decentralized way, there is no central server given out the coins, but it is build on top of Proof of stake and a so called "neural network", in which all Gridcoin nodes come to a conclusion which researcher has done how much research.
The second coolest project imo is Gridcoin Finance, that uses AI/machine learning/simulations distributed over the BOINC platform to find out which options to invest in in the stock market. (https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/11357-gridcoin-finance-project/). This is a project that is also already running and not just an idea.
Check the gridocin forum for more information: https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/464-gridcoin-grc/
edit: also Gridcoin is currently looking for a second dev, so if you can program and would like to participate, please let me know
