A probable solution of the Fermi paradox; and a necessary step in humanity’s cosmic development; is the construction of a Bracewell-Von Neumann Artificial General Intelligence. The use of BN probes is the most plausible method of initial galactic exploration and communication for advanced ET civilizations; and our own cosmic evolution lies firmly in the utilization of; and cooperation with; AGI agents. To establish these claims; I explore the most credible developmental path from carbon-based life forms to planetary civilizations and AI creation. I consider the likely physical characteristics of extraterrestrial AI probes and propose ways to predict their behavior. Lastly; I ponder the possible trajectories for humanity’s cosmic future.
