Get exposed to ET's artificial intelligence

Seth Shostak, the leading astronomer of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California (USA), thinks that the SETI Extraterrestrial Search Network needs to focus on finding the signals of sentient machines. broadcasting into space rather than looking for forms of a specific biological life.

In his article on how Acta Astronautica is entitled ' Shape of Aliens (ET) and why we must care about them ', Seth Shostak argued that the machines operated by Artificial intelligence created by aliens is much easier to detect than finding themselves .

In order to be able to find extraterrestrial civilizations, it is necessary to focus on finding the signal of the sentient machines into the universe.

It seems that we miss a lot of opportunities to capture the signals of extraterrestrial civilizations - which are certainly more advanced than us in terms of technology - sent to the universe through the sensible machines of they.

Shostak writes, the intelligence of machines is varied, rich and longer than humans and ' Based on assumptions, we can deduce simply on the basis of technology life, it is very likely that the planet will be the machines '.

In 2008, NASA's main historian, Stephen J. Dick, also made a similar point in New Scientist: " Certainly we live in a universe of post-biological universe. ) '.

In his article, Shostak proposed, we can use this argument to direct the SETI network in the future. It is to reduce the attention to galaxies that are considered to be full of rocks, water seas and dense atmospheres, to increase interest in places that seem to exist Artificial intelligence .
