While dark energy and dark matter have a big effect on the evolution of the universe as a whole, they don’t interact in any measurable way with systems here on earth. Ethan Siegel has some great posts narrowing down their properties based on what we definitively know, eg. https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/dark-matter-bullet-cluster/ So it’s important on large scales but not, say, on the scale of earth. Of course, if we consider the evolution of AI and humanity over much longer timescales, then we will likely need a detailed theory. That again shows that we need to work with precise models which may expand their regimes of applicability.
