For centuries, humans have wondered if life exists beyond Earth. With the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence scientists are once again hopeful that we might soon detect alien civilisations. The new theory suggests that extraterrestrial life forms could be so technologically advanced that they now exist as AI-based entities using communication methods far beyond our understanding.
Highlights
  • Scientists link artificial intelligence with the future of alien detection.
  • Advanced civilisations may use communication signals that current technology cannot detect.
  • Concept inspired by Carl Sagan’s Communication Horizon and the Fermi Paradox.
  • AI-driven searches could identify unusual cosmic signals in the future.
Is there life outside this planet? Human beings have asked this question for centuries looking at the galaxies in the sky. After the advancement of AI, researchers have once again gained optimism assuming that there might be alien civilisations in the universe and we might detect them soon with further advancement of artificial intelligence to artificial super intelligence. So what are the assumptions? Can human beings come into contact with other extraterrestrial intelligence in the coming days? Let's drive deep into questions that connect Aliens with AI.

Future and AI Communication

Scientists think that future civilisations that are going to be based on sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) may develop super communication technologies and these AI communications will have far more capabilities than humans. The hypothesis is, there are signals that will be sent through neutrinos or quantum networks (or other exotic mechanisms) which can not be detected by our radio telescopes or contemporary detection devices.

Actually the concepts go back to 1970s era when Carl Sagan gave his "Communication Horizon." In this concept he proposed that as civilisations evolve technologically, their methods of communication become more advanced, which means they could become undetectable to us.

What Is the Fermi Paradox

The answer hides inside the Fermi Paradox which was proposed long ago. There are chances that there are many habitable worlds that exist in the galaxy though signs of any extraterrestrial life have not been found till now.

There might chance that those civilisations are far advanced than us. Advancement even changes their lifestyle changing them into AI-existence. So their activity now leaves no recognisable traces.

Mysteries, yet Scientifically Viable

Now the assumption says that the weaknesses of current search techniques for extraterrestrial intelligence are. The scientists say that we need to expand our ways of searching and look for unusual signals that might show the presence of advanced life.

Understanding of AI is imperative in present time. If the upcoming decade artificial intelligence update into artificial super intelligence then this advancement can guide future searches across the universe. Scientists are hoping to expand humanity's perspective further on the cosmic scale. Maybe one day humans are going to live side by side with entirely different species.
