About the possibility of AI becoming sentient at one point, I recently came across Darryil Anka who is channeling Bashar, supposedly an ET being belonging to the Essassani race living on a planet in the Orion area where he explains the two paths to AI and the human evolution. As I'm quite cautious of ET claiming to help us in our evolution, the way Bashar explains why our current AI is doomed for failure still appears to be coherent.
