Every little contribution helps. I applaud your attention to the AI pursuits, which are central to the whole general topic of how we might conduct a serious project of space travel and exploration. Perhaps you might be interested in some deep thought close to the center of inquiry. An interesting examination of some ancient lore might attract your attention.

There is such a long list of highly differntiated talented people who are laying groundwork, such as Dr. Tsien, that they will be most in need of an AI entity to tie together all of their efforts.

Very probably, if our race achieves practical large-scale space travel, it will be in the form of information beams. Bodies will be generated at the point of arrival by pre-positioned apparatuses, built by robotics.
