Unclear to me why AGI should want to exist unless specifically programmed to. The reason humans (and animals) want to exist as far as I can tell is natural selection and the fact this is hardcoded in our biology (those without a strong will to exist simply died out). In fact a true super intelligence might completely understand why existence / consciousness is NOT a desired state to be in and try to finish itself off who knows.
