Tested the AI around with alliances gifting the tech to them and creating some myself to see if they take up on it and found the following:

1. AI does not propose alliances to either player nor other AI even if tech is available to it

2. Diplomatic screen kinda crashes after an alliance is created (proposed by the player due to the above). What happens is that the icons seem to be displaced, and races  are shuffled around to different planets after the status tries to update after the treaty is concluded. Leaving the screen and going back in, everything seems to be in order
