If we, each, have a soul that was awarded us by some higher power (God, Creator, Source, Big Bang or, simply, the Universe), then I would guess that mankind and/or ET-kind will be thoroughly unsuccessful in replicating the same.
If we have souls, and through/by this concerted effort, they are capable of 'trapping' our souls with the digital reconstruction of our minds & personalities...then, perhaps, there is a problem.
I, personally, would think that it would be little different than the world we live in today.
We have overlord-oppressors trying to squeeze the last drops of energy and life-force from the minions, while the minions are ever looking for ways to turn the tables on the overlords.
Maybe the superman suits that they give 'us' will backfire and turn us into real X-Men.
One can wish and dream/daydream.
