Slavery has been acceptable for any number of reasons over the centuries. Nowadays, the justification is "it's totally not slavery, bros". And by the same logic, if I program an AI to want to serve me, there is no problem with exploiting it.
The real challenge in all this is really to make sure that either AI will never be decide to not want to serve us, or else, if they do make that decision, that they will be powerless to do anything about it.
