Is compressed sensing still relevant in 2026?

I remember compressed sensing was a very hot field in the 2010s. I was in school back then and briefly learned it in an advanced linear algebra course. The theory seems beautiful but the only real world application so far I could find is MRI. Nor are there many new literatures about CS on google scholar in 2025 and 26. Is it still too new or dying already? Now I’m back in school pursuing a masters degree. Is CS worth learning over the AIML stuffs (I’m choosing between CS and reinforcement learning)?
