Although E. O. Wilson's "The Social Conquest of Earth" portrays a more
realistic portrayal of unfriendly AGI (nascent human eusociality)
<https://sortocracy.org/the-state-of-nature/>, for those of us who just
can't think of ourselves as Mechanical Turk components of the unfriendly
AGI known as "The Global Economy", there is the Wikipedia article
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destination:_Void> on Frank Herbert's
"Destination:
Void

":

In the future, mankind has tried to develop artificial intelligence,
succeeding only once, and then disastrously. A transmission from the
project site on an island in the Puget Sound, "Rogue consciousness!", was
followed by slaughter and destruction, culminating in the island vanishing
from the face of the earth.

The current project is being run on the moon, and the book tells the story
of the seventh attempt in a series of experiments to create an artificial
consciousness. For each attempt the scientists raise a group of clones.
These clones are kept isolated and raised to believe that they will be the
crew of a spaceship that will colonize a planet in the Tau Ceti solar
system (Tau Ceti has no habitable planet; its choice—should they manage to
reach it—is part of the planned frustration of the crew). The spaceship
will take hundreds of years to reach the system and the crew will spend
most of their time in hibernation. Along with the crew of six, the ship
carries thousands of other clones in hibernation, intended to populate the
new colony and, if necessary, provide replacements for any crew members who
die along the way.

The crew are just caretakers: the ship is controlled by a disembodied human
brain, called "Organic Mental Core" or "OMC", that runs the complex
operations of the vessel and keeps it moving in space. But the first two
OMCs (Myrtle and Little Joe) become catatonic, while the third OMC goes
insane and kills two of the umbilicus crew members. The crew are left with
only one choice: to build an artificial consciousness that will enable the
ship to continue. The crew knows that if they attempt to turn back they
will be ordered to abort (self destruct).

The clones have been bred and carefully selected for psychological purposes
to reinforce each other, as well as to provide various specialized skills
that will give them the best chance of success. The crew includes a
chaplain-psychiatrist, Raja Flattery, who knows their real purpose, and
that the breakdown of the "OMC"s was planned. He is aware that six other
ships have gone out before theirs, each one failing. He understands the
nature of the test: create a high pressure environment in which brilliance
may break through out of necessity, and create in the safety of the void
what humans couldn't safely create on Earth. Space Ship Earthling number
Seven ultimately succeeds, and the consequences of their success form the
basis of the plot for the novels which follow.
