You should study it.
There will always be a need for specialized knowledge. Maybe take an introduction course to get an idea of whether you enjoy ML or not. You'll at least get an overview, which is always useful to have, even if you don't end up in the field. In the end the important thing is that if you end up specializing, that you enjoy it. There are plenty of other things to get into in CS if ML isn't your thing.

Developing effective drugs is a highly dimensional problem. Now, think of other equally difficult problems in other fields that aren't being tackled.
That's the potential.
