What has changed that cloistered catholic monks (as communities) are not advancing technical sciences and engineering today?

Cistercians and other catholic monks are notorious for the introduction of the advancements in technical sciences and agriculture in the Medieval ages. But I recently saw movie about Athon monks (Orthodox, not catholic) https://denpeirazei.com/ and also I am seeing Benedictine abbeys near and far from me. And all of them are adept at keeping guesthouses, doing mean agricultural works and producing food products and beverages. Usually they use almost a hypocritical mix of technologies and handwork. Actually such small-scale businesses could hardly survive without the donations. My desire is to find the monastic community that advances Artificial Intelligence, robotics and automation of jobs because precisely those advances free human beings from the oppression by each other and hence - precisely those technologies (of course, if only properly managed and put into the right socio-economic mechanisms) eradicate poverty. Hence - this is the ultimate job that the communities of work and prayer can do, in my humble opinion, this is the ultimate job. But I have not found such communities. Only advanced communities are the hospital chains managed by quasi-monastic sisters, those chains can have advanced medical research cultures indeed. Catholic universities are another story, especially Leuven in Belgium and Notre Dame in the US. But still, they are not monastic communities, even if monks are sitting in the boards of trustees and department chairs. So - what has changed that this passion for technical advancement has ceased and are there Catholic monastic movements to reignite this passion for technical innovation? *Clarification added*: It is quite possible that monks are doing research work as individual researchers and collaborate with some lay or monastic persons. My question was about communities specifically. E.g. almost sure that someone is required a community to build a robot, some is required a community (small, but still) to advance AI models or cognitive architecture. *Additional clarification added*: Some argue (e.g. in the comments) that my question is of sociological and historical nature. I.e. effectively they are trying to say (without giving explanation, sources and argumentation) that changes in monastic tradition, customs and nature are always of sociological and historical nature and that changes can not be due to the development of the spiritual practices, theological understanding and related schools of thoughts that consider monastic life in the light of theology and pastoral theology. My feeling is that my question calls for the wider deconstruction of the monastic life and the spiritual components of this destruction can be considered in this site as part of my question.
