Seems more likely to me that the AI and machines we build will colonize space. In that lens the fate of humanity is less critical.

What does motivation look like in AI? Why would AI care about anything? What does an AI caring even mean?

AI is just a bundle of humanity's fears/hopes about being replaced. Silly humans! There is nothing more human than a human.

Well that's a different set of questions - but the will to survive seems like it'll be a necessary factor.

My comment was more a practical one - in the cosmic sense, a machine is going to get there earlier and go farther.

This doesn't sound like something you've thought about in great depth.

What does meat caring even mean? Why should near care?

You tell me! I'm not trying to replicate the behavior.
