An artificial life form doesn't really need to have a desire to do anything. If we expect it to start doing science or to go on a killing spree, that's because we're thinking about it as if it's a living creature. And if an artificial being does start doing things, it's likely because it was influenced by humans. For example, we tell the robot to start doing science, but it realizes that humans are a hindrance to science, so it starts killing all humans.
Depending on how you define desire, yes absolutely. I'd argue that bacteria don't have desires per say, but more instincts and basically being alive automatons.

Can it be considered living if it has no desire?

"Why?"

"The experiment is a success. I guess."
