A Harvard professor of astronomy is predicting extraterrestrials will make contact with artificial intelligence before humans, due to aliens potentially feeling a “kinship” with human technology.
“My expectation from interstellar travel is that it’s best done with electronic gadgets and devices rather than with biological creatures because the journey takes a long time,” Harvard professor Avi Loeb said in an upcoming documentary titled “God Vs. Aliens.”
“Even to the nearest star, it will take us 50,000 years to get there with chemical rockets. And artificial intelligence systems have that patience – and then they can remain dormant … so that they survive the journey,” he said.
Stupid statement by Loeb. They would obviously not be using primitive rockets of any kind to travel to other star systems. To read more, click here.
