If that became possible, it would not be a far step for an AI machine to 
self-analyse itself or another AI machine. It could make clones and 
unwittingly modify them.

Who knows where that could lead, or what mutations could happen? Life?

The Chinese would be very interested in you.

I'm sure some of the architecture is provided in layers, some public 
like frame buffers and some not like acceleration features. So your 
machine code experiments could be done on the former, to learn to walk 
first. Or choose another more open graphics chipset if you need more 
documentation to get to first base. Perhaps there is on a low end mobile 
phone?

Here's a manual way of reverse engineering random chinese hardware.

Your AI solution would have to replicate the ability of the human.
