Yeah, self replicating robots is a pretty interesting theory as to who those skinny guys were at the end of the movie. Common in Phillip K. Dick's books and infact, was the premise of "The Terminator" flix, albiet with negative implications instead of the benevolent scientific curiosity of the beings at the end of AI.The theory that robots with emotions and the ability to self replicate/repair is actually the next step in human evolution is commonly being discussed in think tanks today. Saw a fascinating documentary on this exact subject a few months ago on PBS. I'll buy into the idea that this is probably what was being depicted in the film.
