For intelligence to evolve self interest, there must be emotion and some reward for self-interested behavior. These things did not evolve in living things in a vacuum. It benefited organisms by enabling them to survive and reproduce.
For organisms designed to reproduce, and whose parents are designed to die and get out of the way of its offspring, things could evolve in an undesirable direction.
You don't know whether man's best friend is evolving or a wolf. We do know that selective breeding affects the outcome.
But it really is more desirable to make drones you control.
In any case, we'll see people modifying the human genome so offspring can't disobey their parents before we'll see robotic intelligence competing with us.
