Hopefully there would be no reason for a sentient system to eradicate humans... especially if it was programmed to consider human life as valuable as we ourselves consider human life - it would be like humans trying to eradicate ourselves. Even if it wasn't given some kind of morality, there's no reason why an organism which was created artificially rather than naturally would care about its own well-being over that of anything else - consciousness doesn't necessarily imply all of the things that we take for granted, such as self-preservation.
