It has been explicitly said somewhere that AI will not be involved in the resolution, so I'm not particularly worried about that.

Interesting. A superintelligence keyed to wearers of the genetic marker was my best guess. Where was that said?

Actually, I misspoke - IIRC, it was about FOOM, not superitelligence ; that Harry won't build an FAI to solve the story, and that the story is not about AI, not that it will have no part in it. I don't recall where exactly, but it was associated with the saying about "a fanatic is someone who only cares about one thing, and can't change the subject".
