Personally I would rather see AI, and by extension Cyborgs, as late-join options.

Late-joining as a cyborg or an AI could have some issues. One that jumps immediately to mind is joining while having a suicide law, thus forcing you to die as soon as you join. There could also be the case of joining in while the silicons are rogue which could lead to you entering combat near-instantly. I personally feel that players who want to play borg who latejoin should either have to get someone to borg them or should have to get nanomachines, which is the way it is currently. 

As for AI, it's true that AI is similar to captain in that it can override preferences unless it's set to unwanted. This means that for there to not be an AI, every single person who joined at roundstart either had AI in unwanted or rolled an antag role. Whether or not you're an antagonist is selected before your actual job, so having AI in favorite or in medium or in low will never hurt your odds of being an antag.

I think the ideal solution is to have some sort of button or machine that you can interact with that turns you into an AI if there isn't one. If you pulled from ghosts you would have to enforce extra rules regarding using info in your past life, to ensure that players won't become the AI and then reveal info such as who killed them in a past life or whatever. It's possible to borg yourself at the moment but impossible to make yourself into an AI.
