I think all aliens that travel the space are AI - because life is fragile and having life support systems is just giant pain.

This is the reason why only automated drones like Voyagers have left the solar system and we don't even have a moon base.

AI and machines are just way better for exploring the space than any organic life will ever be, it's just our old perception that "we must" send ourselves somewhere in current form because it's all we have. But future will not be as such.

Aliens that travel space could be AI unless it's like the flood from Halo. They're a weird parasite species that feed on other sentient life. Or the precursors. Similar to the black goo from Prometheus
