Currently, I'd say the threat from unfriendly natural intelligence is many orders of magnitude higher than that from AI.
There is a valid question of the shape of the improvement curve, and it's at least somewhat believable that technological intelligence outstrips puny humans very rapidly at some point, and shortly thereafter the balance shifts by more than is imaginable.
Personally, I'm with you - we should be looking for ways to engineer friendliness into humans as the fist step toward understanding and engineering it into machines.
As far as I understand engineering humans to be more friendly is a concern for the Chinese. They also happen to be more likely to do genetic engineering than the West.
