AI has achieved quite a bit
 
-Deployed speech dialog systems by firms like IBM, Dragon and Lernout&Hauspie

- Financial software, which is used by banks to scan credit card
  transactions for unusual patterns that might signal fraud. One piece
  of software is estimated to save banks $500 million annually.

- Applications of expert systems/case-based reasoning: a computerized Leukemia
  diagnosis system did a better job checking for blood disorders than human
  experts.

- Machine translation for Environment Canada: software developed in the 1970s
  translated natural language weather forcasts between English and French.
  Purportedly still in use.

- Deep Blue, the first computer to beat the human chess Grandmaster

- Physical design analysis programs,such as for buildings and highways.

- Fuzzy controllers in dishwashers, etc.

Aeronautical Engineers the aircraft people use for business and holidaying would not be in the sky, it cannot be contested that society depends heavily on travel via aircraft.

 Aeronautical Engineer will provide the solution to increase overall aircraft efficiency, thereby helping to drive down the levels of emissions current aircraft produce. 

Aeronautical Engineers also help put the satellites in to space, the satellites we rely on for weather information, geospatial mapping data, environmental monitoring, telecommunications and research. So in answer to the question I feel aerospace engineering plays a major role in society, producing and developing a lot of the technology we rely on heavily.
