Does it have a life cycle? Well it is created so it has a birth but does it eventually die? Not sure - the software could manipulate itself into new "hardware" if necessary. Going to say maybe on this one.
Does it undergo metabolism? Well it does consume power but metabolism? Going to say NO on this one.
Can it grow? Yes AI will have the power to grow.
Can it adapt to its environment? Going to say YES here as well.
Can it respond to stimuli? Yes - AI will be able to respond to stimuli.
Can it reproduce? Yes and this is our second biggest fear about AI.
Can it evolve? Yes and this is our biggest fear.
It looks like AI will meet most of the biological requirements for being classified as being "alive". So much so that I fully expect some wingnuts to start argue about AI having rights. Which should scare you if you're like me and scream at Siri in the car when she gives you bad information or can't understand the question. In the future I might be liable for jail time for this verbal battery.
I just hope we are a long way from this future.
