Super AI is a bad idea. I say stay away from it unless you can transfer a human mind to a computer so it understands that its immoral to turn humans into paperclips.

In OA the technology for transferring a human mind into a computer arrives much later than the advent of artificial general intelligence (AGI). I suspect this will happen in real-life too, since the uploading of a human mind appears to be a very complex operation, while there are probably many routes to AGI.

One promising route towards AGI is the low-level mapping of the human mind/brain system, so that the result is a kind of generalisation of a human mind; this may be the best option we have for introducing a human-like perspective into AGI, although I should point out that humans can be cruel and unreliable too, so we may not be the best models after all.
