I've given this one some thought too. Reaping the Reaper makes it seem like Reaper & ReaperA just existed in their transportable netarches without mods. This could work like a biosystem (you can build a decent 3 floor netarch for under 5000eb). For the drone and agent mininetarch’s you can tech-upgrade each floor (+1000eb).

The gemini is an excellent idea. If 10000eb is too much you could try to save some money by begging the ref to let you tech-up med-grade cyberware to work in FBCs (normally you can't but it would save 400eb for most limbs). This would have 0 upgrade slots though (and kinda ruin the best part about FBCs which is 0 cyberlimb HL and double upgrade slots).

Humanity loss for AI would be the AI seeing humans as executable programs, resources, etc. Perhaps for fun if an AI is netrunning instead of normal data the 'brain' damage they take is humanity loss. One bad netrun & suddenly HAL is ready to betray the crew.

Finally I'd base AI off demons. An imp AI is a rank 3 netrunner (interface 3 & +14 on all rolls) & cost 5000eb (+1 price category). The improvement is that an AI can adapt while the demon can only have 1 or 2 triggers. For this full price the AI would follow your orders (low humanity may have it seek to twist your orders). For a free AI (unshackled, but like a regular NPC maybe with Loyalty) you could get it for the cost of the original demon. Engrams would be 500eb, have no netrunning, +10 on all non-combat rolls like housekeeping, but would still be obedient (maybe for 100eb they'd be unshackled and basically a real person). Netrunning is just like a human. The AI needs a deck & can activate programs. You could have Efreet & Balron AI & maybe a secret military demon/AI that has Interface 10 or 11 but these get stupid expensive and the price would basically be doubling for all of them.
