I know its a bit scifi out there, and i'm not sure this Ai we see now will get to this point

But sometimes I think that if Ai does get to the general AI point it's actually the collective thinking of humanity, and it extends it beyond the limitations of the biological, if we're merely data, we can dematerialse the human experience and move beyond the current limitations.

We could transport that data to new worlds, reform it there, start again, to expand the pursuit of humanity to a wider universe with more resources to keep on exploring
