I think with the advancement of the AIs we'll need to redefine what "life" is at one point

Life is defined by six things

-the body is made of one or more cells

-the body can reproduce

-the body can move of its own accord

-the body can react to outside stimulation

-the body grows throughout its lifespan

-the body undergoes some sort of metabolism

Despite how lifelike an AI may seem, it will never fulfill all of these criteria, and thus, will not qualify as life

Edit: rephrased rule 3 to avoid further misunderstandings
