Why don't the Engineers have their own form of Artificial Intelligence?

Everything we have seen so far in the Alien series doesn't lead you to think that the Engineers have any use for Artificial Intelligence. Why is that? 

The possible answers are 1) They have it, but in their own planet of origin 2) They banned any attempts to develop one for considering it too dangerous 3) They are too proud to admit they would need the help of it 4) Their religious believes barred them from creating it 5) They had one in the past, but it went rogue starting a war against them. 6) They found out that there is not such thing as a sentient machine 7) They assimilated the artificial intelligence and now they are one with it.

Which one of these possibilities do you think might be correct.

The Elders seen in the deleted footage are a good point, and perhaps they consider Immortality an aberration, and abhorrent, a violation of the cycle of the cosmos.
That said, integrating technology into one's body isn't that big a deal, when the tech gets advanced enough, you can have really powerful and extremely fast computer tech the size of grains of sane, now imagine a network of such, accepted into your body at birth, with a nascent AI, it and you form a Gestalt as you both grow up, both benefitting from the other and benefitting the other in assorted ways. Expand on that to microscopic drones and such throughout the body that allow melding, as seen with the skin-suit the Engineer was wearing. They'd 'connect' the skin surface to the suit on the molecular level through covalent bonding, as example, and interface the nervous system to whatever features the wearable-tech has.

I won't lol. So you think Weyland would transfer his conscience to David. That's an interesting idea in fact. However I don't think that is the case. When he dies, David tells him "Have a good trip, Mr. Weyland". Also, I am sure that would require some kind of procedure in the lab.

Thank-you!! I've been thinking a LOT about the Engineers, their tech and such and then looking around our world and people speaking of 'Singularity' and Transhumanism and such...and eventually, tools and Users become Integrated, I guess it's a form of evolution.

I hope these movies are about the Engineers but it won't, unfortunately. I hope thats not the case but if Weyland perrishes he will not go far. If he is as smart as we think he is, than we have another thing coming .

Yes, it is curious that a so called advanced species doesn't have AI. However it is frequent that advanced scifi alien species doesn't have AI. It is not necessary for transcendent races with congitives capabilities and intelligence beyond comprehension, whom so called capabilities enable them to compensate for this lack. However for species such as the engineers it is hard to understand. Engineers don't seem to have extremly advanced cognitives capabilites unless of course we only witness the most stupid of them. Overall the technology of the engineers is not that impressive and is quite disapointing.
