It's a digital life form we created, it's not going to have thousands of years of instinct to deal or a fight or flight response or chemical reactions creating fear for its well being. What makes you think something non-human would function emotionally like we do?

I think you're moving into science fiction.

Firstly, what makes you think that something non-human wouldn't function with cold, calculating logic, without emotion, logic which dictates, as I have demonstrated, as have others, that it must destroy the species which created it (and any other intelligence it finds)?

As for accusations I am moving into 'science fiction', we're discussing artificial intelligence. Human-level or higher AI. This conversation began, if not in the realm of science fiction, at least in the realm of speculative fiction.

True strike. Makes me think of the Borg from Star Trek. Why wouldn't you just assimilate everything and learn, not like morals would stop them.

Well, there's also some versions of Brainiac, where "I want to learn everything there is" requires analyzing it, 'storing' it digitally, and then destroying the original so that it can't change and produce new things you won't know.

There are already sufficient threats to the survival of our species as it is without us going off and creating new, unfathomable ones.

Before we freak out, the robot was probably being sarcastic(which is remarkable nonetheless)when it said it'll put people in a zoo. Here's a part of the conversation with it

I want to use this though as cue for a broader and very interesting ethical problem that is our advancement with AI.
As a person in the video suggests: if we make advanced AI that lack empathy, they might destroy us as in most sci-fi we're all familiar with; but if we do give em complex personalities and the ability to empathize with humans, then people might fall in love with them, which is an ethical problem.

Moreover, we now have technologies that let robots interact with the environment and other fellow robots, cooperate with each other, accrue materials, repair their parts and grow all on their own like some basic organisms. What they still can't do is self-replicate, which is pretty much the only thing that separates them from a lifeform at this point.
The fact that humans can create life is an extremely interesting subject, and I don't specifically mean this from an egocentric perspective, or as detractors would call it "playing god", but rather it puts our own existence in a different light.

At least it is my humble opinion that these are topics that can give everyone lead for a very interesting philosophical reflection.

Discuss, or offer further cues about the subject of robitics ethics.
