Great question! I'm assuming that if AI and genetic engineering hit their stride at the same time, copyright is the least of our concerns.

We engineer machine intelligence just enough for it to spark (tipping point, runaway, whatever you want to call it), and then it'll engineer us "better". Is "better" what we consider better? Or what it considers better? Interesting times.
