It has those tentacles (I'm not sure what to call them) and it locks on the nerves even maybe the brain stem, so it can monitor the reactions of the body and the thoughts, hence Lexa's dream of the older commanders. Here's the thing, it was written to be impossible. It can also be written to be possible. We saw last season the Sky People had technology to convert Reapers. Maybe this season we could see the Sky People with the technology to remove the AI without killing the host. didnt they turn the reapers back not using technology but just waiting for the drug the grounders were given that turned them into reapers, to leave their system? As for the tentacles on the AI thing: these do actually exist as current technology (they are called electrodes and are used for reading off on neurons for things like brain research on alzheimers and parkinsons), and are removed and inserted when people are alive without problem, so it should be possible for the AI to do the same.... however as seen before, the 100 doesnt really base itself off of science so maybe in their writing this isnt possible and the host has to be dead. Here's something I learned from watching Insurgent. The electrodes were programmed in a way that they wouldn't dislodge unless the host was dead. So, it took time and knowledge to manage to dislodge them without killing the hosts. So, how can the Sky People deal with something they didn't know existed, and even if they did (because the Grounders prime example Titus will never believe the "Spirit of the Commander" is a technology thingie) they have limited background on A.I.s. A.L.I.E. might have been able to do it, but it's a huge maybe True, but i dont think the Ai was programmed like this: i mean they would have wanted a backup way of getting it out in case somethign went wrong since the AI is like the base of religion at this point ( and maybe they wouldnt need a lot of info to do this as the AI might have some system in it to make it possible or something, titus just practically takes it out (and it appears to still be attached depsite lexa being dead at this point, until he touches it)). And some medical staff at arkadia like abby must ahve known how to remove devices using electrodes seeing as it wouldnt have been an unusual medical technology in the ark (but yes they may lack necessary materials)
