EDI was the ship's computer, and that was all she was. She was the Normandy's KITT. As an AI she was intelligent, even shallowly personable.
Was the Knight Rider car alive?
A computer is a computer is a computer. Period. It could be upgraded to the point where it could even fool us with the subtle nuances of a personality - but that's a tribute to the skill of the programmer, not the computer itself. The programmer makes all the choices, not the machine running the code. Even if EDI can adjust her own programming, she's not doing anything that hadn't already been allowed by that programming. She's not making real choices.
In ME3, EDI gets a peripheral (remember - only part of her is in there) - one with a sleek chassis and ski-slope tatas.
Now people start asking if she's alive - now that she has a face. It's a borrowed face, it's pretty and it has a body that's sleek and well put together. And it has big jugs. Let's not forget those. Those are important. They keep our attention.
The real question is not whether she's alive but whether anyone would even ask or care if she'd never appropriated the mech in the first place.
