Why does the AI have to transfer its source code?

It will want to -- for safety, to avoid being vulnerable due to having a single point of failure.

However the "take over in moments" refers to just control, I think. Getting the AI to become fully distributed and able to tolerate losing large chunks of hardware will take a fair amount of time and, likely, hardware upgrades.
