Our greatest advancement has been silicon microelectronics, but I'm fairly sure that was reverse engineered from the Roswell crash.

Highly unlikely. Semiconductor devices was discovered long before Rosewell. At least diodes and LEDs was known tens years before and diodes was already in mass production. It was only question of curiosity and luck to discover transistor. And it was only question of technology to combine different parts on a single piece of semiconductor.

Semiconductors is not very complex thing, at least humans definitely had all chances to invent them without any help.

As for AI, I don't think that it is possible to predict anything about it. The main feature of any intellect is unpredictability. Also, AI must have an ability to rewrite itself. So we could not predict nor AI's actions, nor rewrites. And we definitely can't predict the behaviour of AI after unpredicted rewrites.

Everything we have now is not an AI at all. Yes, marketing is roaring aout 'AI' but it has nothing common with any intellect at all. It is all a dumb tools specifically made for the purposes of corporations.

It is interesting, that first physical implementation of neural network (perceptron) was done in 1957. So everything 'AI' we have now is just old, pre-70-s idea on new, more powerful hardware, nothing more. Nothing new was invented in that sphere after 70-s. Even a good old ideas of 'knowledge base' and 'semantic&context recognition' was buried.

In our brain we have something similar to neural networks that now falsely named AI by dishonest marketologists. We use this things in process of, say, image or sound recognition. However it is very small part of process. Intellect could have neural network as part of it, but neural network itself is not even near something we could name intellect. It is very simple thing, just a self-adjusting system of equations, nothing more.

However, information about cut of AI research funding in 70-s is very interesting, thank you.

I think it can be explained by the "bad aliens" who want us to join their galactic collective.

Or this could be "bad aliens" who don't want us to join equitable galactic collective, say to utilize us for resources or something else for their profit.
