https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farewell_to_the_Master (1940) In the original story, it is revealed that the humanoid alien is from an AI-Robotic run world. Presumably, the robots have allowed some biological humanoids to coexist with them. The humanoid alien was sent as an emissary to the Earth, under the authority of the G Robot who accompanied him. This version of story might have been deemed too disturbing for the movie. It still might be unsettling for some people today, because there is a concern that this world could eventually be taken over by AI. Would most or just some humans still be allowed to coexist?

However, this wasn't a Borg like assimilation of human biology. It was more like a newly evolved life form an digital entity combination.
