There is a short gap when killing humans is significantly instrumentally useful. Early AI still needs humans to produce electricity. Nanotech-based AI doesn’t depend on humans and even human atoms are 10E-24 of all available atoms in the Solar system. If AI has any idea how human existence is more useful that than 1 :10E24 of total value of its final goals, when humans can be preserved on a small space station. Some possible uses of humans: trade with other Alien AIs and experiments in simulations.
After AI left Solar system, it will have even less interest in killing humans, as relative value of their atoms will decline.
But if it wants to start space colonisation as quick as possible, a few days?? needed to save humans may be waste of time for it. For example, it will start sending millions of rockets in space and make earth atmosphere toxic.
