This seems a bit unlikely until our technology improves considerably, given interstellar travel looks to be, at the very least, a very hard problem and FTL looks to be impossible in principle.

Conceivably we are the first, or amongst the first sentient technology using species to emerge in the universe. But this rejects the principle of mediocrity, which so far has proved to be a useful tool. Maybe it takes around 9.2 billion years for sentient, technology using entities to emerge after a big bang!

Wow we’re an extreme outlier, or to put it another way “hurrah, we won the lottery”.
