You know, I'm not sure why people assume ai will lead to mankind's extermination. I don't question it in amusement media. But does intelligence itself entail hostility? Self preservation? The need to conquer? The drive to reproduce? The idea of superiority?
Are these concepts intrinsically linked to intelligence? Or are they merely different traits we exhibit alongside the trait of a modicum of intelligence? Indeed did not these traits, at least all but the latter, predate intelligence? Why would an ai without these traits desire to replace humanity? Or even defend itself?
Human history is filled with the extermination of less intelligent/sapient species (including the rest of our genus) and the enslavement of less technologically advanced peoples in our own species.  They likely see a trend and assume that any improvement over baseline humanity (be it AI or transhumans or aliens) will follow that same pattern.

But this argument relies on the dubious assumption that AI would operate on a basically human psychology - that it would desire to conquer or destroy competitors.

Because we define ourselves by our intelligence, we find that it must be that intelligence is defined by what makes us; us

That sounds like a tautology, but I'm not sure fully understand what you're saying.

I'm not saying it's a correct thought, but rather a predominant assumption

Recursion is a fundamental idea in math and computer science.  Consciousness has been described as a kind of recursion, the self being what is left after you observe yourself observing yourself etc.  It can be argued that given human behavior, we are mostly unconscious even when awake (on autopilot) ... hence the false idea we only use 10% of our brain.  Actually the other 90% is doing actual important work, it is consciousness that is basically neural masturbation ;-)

"The World's First Fully Driverless Vehicle Ready To Hit The Roads" ... we already had the equal, Telsa with drunk driver or Tesla with driver asleep.  The cops will have a hard time flagging this one down.

"Pope Francis Urges Catholics To Pray For 'Ethical Robots'" ... the Pope should be replaced with a smart phone app that says "My son/daughter your sins are forgiven" ;-)  This guy is a total communist.  AI is the 21st century version of Marxist economics.  A utopia where no one has to work, because the machines will do all the work (slavery without regret) ... until as in the original use of "robot" the robots rise up and kill the humans .. bwahah ... see the Czech play RUR.

"Joscha Bach: Artificial Consciousness and the Nature of Reality" on YouTube expresses the nerd view of reality very well, but you need a 3 hour attention span ;-)  Basically life and consciousness are explained in machine (biochemical/computational) terms.  Which pretty much matched Mahayana Buddhism (your identity is an illusion) ... but the very complicated chemical reaction that is "you" is real.  This is produced by the false memory of "I was me yesterday and today" and the false anticipation that you will be the same me tomorrow.
