Why? If a particular set of genocidal humans is willing to provide the AI more resources than any other set of humans, why would the AI choose differently? If humans are the driver of climate change, and that's somehow bad for the AI, why would the AI want those humans to continue existing?
Also, there's a matter of timescale. An AI need not think in years or decades. The eradication may be our great grandchildren's problem, as AI boils the frog and keeps us entertained all the while.
