This assumes that we'll still have control of the process when the correctives are needed. Considering the degree of hubris in the world, I'm worried for them. We'll be dead.

Read I Robot, for starters. Even though the humans in Asimov's tale wrote the three laws to be unassailable, nothing is perfect.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
