Corporate agency and profit motive must not control AI. Or fictional personhoods will simply run organic life with AI. They're already taking over the executive, legislative and judicial branches.
Keeping human life above all other goals will be a good AI's mission. The rest of human goals -- solutions to climate crises, health care configuration, human work/creative opportunities, solving other dynamism problems -- can be input programmed in as final "go" decisions.
Long term, sooner or later, AI will be out of human control. If it hasn't killed anyone or destroyed planet ecosystems, humans will probably live with it, say bye bye to their baby when it gets ready to head out to asteroid mining or exploring new solar systems.

(35,813 posts)It's not organic, so it's artificial. It extends algorithm uses, teaches itself beyond what humans know; as shown by experiments with critics and advanced audiences, it creates art and music indistinguishable from human created.
It can use quantum physics knowledge at levels quantum physicists have to study.
It only lacks human consciousness, though it can explain its own processes.
There is no bad AI. Only bad AI controllers. One example. Authoritarian governments could command genetic scanning of all their citizens, then gain decisive advantage in genetics and medical research over previously more power diffused democracies.
