Alien AI Might Turn Advanced Civilizations 'Invisible' in a Cosmic Blink
Most stars have planets, with over 6,000 exoplanets discovered so far, indicating countless potentially habitable worlds in the Universe.
Despite searching for evidence of alien civilizations, none has been found, sparking various theories: life may not exist elsewhere, Earth might be in a "cosmic zoo," or civilizations self-destruct upon gaining power.
- Life doesn't exist elsewhere
- Earth is in a "cosmic zoo"
- Civilizations self-destruct upon gaining power
Another theory suggests that advanced civilizations may become "invisible" due to AI, as proposed in a new paper re-examining Carl Sagan's ideas.
What if the reason we haven't detected aliens is because of AI?
This idea adds to the existing theories, but none are currently provable or satisfactory.
Author's summary: Alien AI may be the reason for invisible civilizations.
