A tiger might confidently think that the human they got cornered has no recourse, up until when the human pulls the trigger.

This. The idea that we can simultaneously build a machine smarter than us and also control it is bordering on an oxymoron.

Unless we are near some kind of physical upper limit on intelligence, any AGI we build will easily out smart us, probably in ways we can't even conceive of.
