One of the advantages an alien race
might have integrating their minds with computers is that a machine
is much more durable than a biological form. Space travel is
currently limited by distance, as we have not achieved the speeds to
make travel to other galaxies possible within someone's lifetime.
Suspended animation is currently being considered for people to make
the long journey more plausible. However, if an alien race was
essentially uploaded as a computer intelligence into a machine, the
physical limitations of a biological body no longer need to be
considered. This would be an advantage not only for space travel, but
for surviving harsh conditions on a planet that may be otherwise
uninhabitable due to pollution or natural causes. Perhaps the UFO's
that people claim to have sighted around the world are not piloted by
biological aliens at all, but by an alien artificial intelligence. If
that is the case, calling it “artificial” doesn't quite seem
appropriate!
