Hmm. If you're a nonphysical AI, I guess it depends on how you interact.
Something like *Mute in jewelfox's fic - or the Doctor from Star Trek: Voyager, who ended up with a holographic form with an incorporated force field and a portable project, and could manipulate physical objects and walk away from his "home base" that had the good projectors in it, would permit analog interactions.
You could go virtual-space-only, communicating to the rest of the group through whatever physical systems are present - which could get really interesting if/when we've got to jump you across an air-gap, for example - or maybe even borrow/hijack existing or abandoned hardshells, essentially giving you a series of bodies, none of which are your Final Form, because that's all digital. *s*
