Should I accept a PhD offer in NeuroAI [D]

Hi everyone.
I am recent CS grad and I have received a PhD offer from a school in states. However I am deeply confused if I should accept it or not.
My hesitation comes from the interdisciplinary nature of the program. It will be jointly supervised by the two professors, one from biomedical and one from ML domain. I always wanted to work on the foundational aspect of the AI and to publish in A* conferences in AI, so I am not sure if it is a right choice.
The other option for me is to wait and work on enhancing my profile. Get another paper or two published in respected venues and apply again. I have a decent profile, with couple of internships and research papers, and >90% cgpa.
Moreover, I believe I can do foundational stuff much better than the applied one so my biggest fear is that I accept the offer and later get to know that the AI part is very trivial and minimal. It might lead to the mental frustration and lower productivity.
What should I do in this case? If anyone has been a part of such a interdisciplinary programs, please do share your experience.
Thanks!
