That's where I'm at too. It could be AI. It could be aliens. It could be a person or a group of people. Perhaps we're in a simulation and the creator is pulling strings to achieve some end.
One thing that's pretty remarkable is just how little we know about this power that's in charge. I have given it a lot of thought and I'm still no closer to narrowing it down. We have to keep an open mind as to what this power is. A while back I gave it a name: The Adversary.
