It's to be expected that any sufficiently advanced civilization develops artificial intelligence. It's too obvious and straightforward a concept. IMO, if you can accept that aliens would develop computers, you should accept that they would develop AI.
Which brings me to my second point; there's a strong argument that AI cannot be developed safely. That you can't attach human ethics to something operating beyond a human level of intelligence, or even, direct your society in such a way that more primitive examples of AI aren't rather recklessly implemented, or eventually abused in such a way that your society, inevitably, collapses.
A strong argument can be made that the galaxy should be littered with species that tried and failed to safely devise AI, and then went on to pay the price for it.
Not only that, you can further argue that any species nearby would be at risk also if the AI was expansionist, or, to liken to the famous example, a paperclip optimizer which ran out of resources.
But, here we are, with accounts from respectable fighter pilots of craft using extremely sophisticated technology.
So what does this mean? Is an AI responsible? Or if it isn't, how are they safe from the great trap of AI, and a galaxy full of failed experiments?
