Anyone wondering why AI is mostly focused on science for the last... let's say... half-a-year?
It is because of this line, added in Victories.xml file with September 2020 patch:
<Row ListType="ClassicalYields" Item="YIELD_SCIENCE" Value="150"/>
It increases the internal value of science yield by 150% and this stays for the entire game. It overshadows other yields, like Gold or Faith. AI almost stopped building Commercial Hubs. No more missionary carpets. And poor Great People are wandering around not even in Russia (they always did so in Peter's empire) but basically in every civ - because there are not enough Theater Squares to put their Great Works into.
Change this value to a reasonable 30-50 if you want to have a bit more diverse game.
