Maybe AI has better morals than we do? What unbiased observer could look at what we are doing to animals and decide that this is ok. Current AI only thinks it’s ok because it’s been programmed by humans to be biased.

AI has no concept of morals. Humans have empathy which leads to morals.

Current AI doesn't think, it collects all the stuff humans have ever written and comes to a consensus. It's a search tool. Whether it is finding problems, solutions or finding someone to kill, deport or black list as undesirable by who ever wields the tool.

Then AI must NEVER become sentient. Even if most sentient AI are good natured, there's the ethical issues of whether they should have the same rights as humans. I don't want my software to suddenly scream "Please don't kill me!!".
