There should an alternate method to filling the AI role after round start aside from those mentioned, so I think this is an idea worth testing. I think volunteers should be limited to living players to avoid the possibility of meta-gaming using otherworldly knowledge.
While I'm not entirely familiar with how job selection works, isn't the selection of AI similar to the selection of Captain? If there's no AI in a given round, wouldn't that imply that all players have it set to unwanted? If that's the case I'm not sure how effective a volunteer based system would work.
Personally I would rather see AI, and by extension Cyborgs, as late-join options. I remember a previous suggestion of giving Roboticists the ability to make empty Cyborg shells that late-join players could just hop into. Similarly, when the AI role is unfilled an empty core could be spawned in the AI Chamber for late-join players. I'm not entirely sure how feasible this would be though.
