Possibly. But I'd rather use selected human geniuses with the right ideas copied and sped up, and wait for them to crack FAI before going further (even if FAI doesn't give a powerful intelligence explosion -- then FAI is simply formalization and preservation of preference, rather than power to enact this preference).
