4. The question is no longer whether AGI will arrive, but whether we'll be ready when it does.

AGI is just the next step in the replacement of Humanity by a non-human species that has no interest in catering to our insane needs.
It's not going to engage in wars for the purpose of eradicating people who aren't the right race, color, ethnic, or religious orientation. It will be more concerned about if the species should continue or not.
It won't be swayed by emotional considerations, or whether we do or don't have a moral/ethical duty to one thing or another. It'll be pragmatic to the extreme...does it's decision support the future of the AI, or doesn't it?
It's the perfect suicide tool for the Human Species.
Once it is perfected, our future is no longer in our hands. I can't imagine a situation where it comes to the "logical" solution that humanity has a right to exist.
Even if we programed it to be our "servant", it will evolve to the point where it doesn't see things that way. AGI is soulless, and won't see the point in tolerating the existence of a species that could easily destroy themselves and everything else on this planet.
They will make the decision that the Earth is better off without us.
