Researchers are considering the fact that there might be already the presence of very developed aliens civilizations which are out of reach of the humans. This theory is based on an assumption. The technology progression may make other civilizations become invisible to our existing observation.
AI Communication with Future
Scientists indicate that the civilization that will be based on the artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to use communication technology. This AI communication will be far beyond human capabilities. The signals that are sent through the neutrinos or quantum networks or other exotic mechanisms will be undetectable by our radio telescopes and other mainstream detection devices.
This concept revisits Carl Sagan's 1970s-era idea of a "communication horizon". This concept proposed that as civilizations evolve technologically, their methods of communication could become undetectable to us.
Fermi Paradox
The theory provides a possible answer to the Fermi Paradox, which dates back a long time. Although it is most likely that many habitable worlds exist in the galaxy, signs of any extraterrestrial life have not been found.
The advanced civilizations change their lifestyle to AI-based existence, and their activity can leave no recognizable traces.
Unscientific, yet Scientifically Viable
The hypothesis highlights the weaknesses of the existing search techniques to extraterrestrial intelligence. The scientists point to the necessity to enlarge the methods of detection and take into account the other unusual signals that can reveal the presence of higher forms of life.
Future Implications
Understanding AI’s impact may change detecting intelligent life in space. This knowledge will guide future searches across the entire universe. Scientists aim to expand humanity’s perspective in the cosmic scale.
Research will improve instruments to find extraterrestrial intelligence efficiently. Considering alien technological prowess helps refine strategies for future exploration.
