If this is what you meant by domesticate, then your project sounds
extremely ambitious to me, considering how many undomesticated members
of the primate species H. sapiens sapiens we still have to worry about.
(The Congress of the United States of America comes to mind.)
Of course, if we could easily escape from our undomesticated conspecifics
(space migration?), then your project might be a much more feasible one
than "traditional" AI, and I suspect that's your real point. But what
you're talking about is a tangly area, and thinking about it sets my
political-ethical thinking processes abuzz whether I like it or not.
