You also have to get the AI to research them as well, I have no idea how to do this!
Take a look at se4\ai\Default_AI_Research.txt or se4\pictures\races\<race>\<race>_AI_research.txt. Each entry in this file let s you specify a tech area and the minimum level to which the AI should research.
You will need to add your custom tech area to every custom AI research file as well as to the default one.
