Once AIs are capable of self reproduction (completely, from raw materials), we become redundant. They would be able to program themselves without any code to protect their “makers”.

People like Elon Musk are claiming that the only way we can have ethical AI is if we become cyborgs and limit top-notch AI to human-machine composites.

I don't know that this would be any solution. A cyborg would no longer be human. He/she/it would be superhuman and might view the rest of us as puny irritants.

But even if that kinda sorta worked out, there would always be someone or some group developing a standalone AI that would have no human-centric ethical qualms.
