We don't really have any reason to presume that SIs would not emerge from
genetic programming projects, do we? As AIs compete with each other, winners
would evolve with higher and higher IQs. Those intelligent agents (IAs) that
display unfriendly tendencies could simply be terminated. This is a tremendous
advantage of working with Mind Children, because you can't (legally or
ethically) do this with biological children. As the evolution of AI moves toward
SI, all you need to do to preclude unfriendliness is to cull to herd, so to
speak.
