Physically no. Not just no it's even impossible to travel that vast distance. Voyager spacecraft is nearly out of the solar system. But still not out completely from our solar system. It takes 23+ something hours to travel signals from/to Voyager and earth ( SPEED IN LIGHT-YEARS). so imagine what we've to achieve to travel in light speed.

You don't seem to have really investigated the question. We're at the least talking about identifying the prerequisites for feasibility using today's level of knowledge and technology, some of which will be developed to become much more powerful in the next 100 years. Within that timeframe, for example, we can probably achieve economical fusion energy generation and large-scale mining of selected (mineral-rich) asteroids. On the other hand, I believe that today's claims about imminent AGIs are quite overblown.
A lot of human social engineering must take place to focus humanity's efforts toward extraterrestrial, much less interstellar, missions. When a critical mass of humanity comes to understand that those projects can "pay for themselves" with a "dividend" that enables building a much better Earth environment, I believe that humanity will have turned the corner toward perpetual terrestrial sustainability.

A while ago someone somewhere somehow said something like E=Mc2. Let's say you believe this. Can you share some knowledge that in near future how is it might be possible for us to travel in the speed of light? Forget we're going outside of our solar system for a moment. Just how the traveling in light speed is possible. You can send AI or whatever you like to send.
