And how would AGI improve itself exponentially faster than a human?

By working much faster than a biological brain.
This machine, if you are to grant we can make one as intelligent as a human with all of the human range of mental skills at its disposal, would surely be able to interact with humans if nothing else. We could feed it information just like we do when we educate a human , except it would be able to process much more at once, naturally.
This might be hard for you to imagine, but I can't see why. If you give me a million years to study all the assembled knowledge in the world and then some billions of humans to do my bidding, yes, I will still be under the influence or in the shadow of my original biological drives, but we all know how distortedly we've come to fulfill those just by being aware of them and by living in an ever more complex environment.
Now take me and imagine me as the A. I. instead. It won't take me a million years to absorb all that information, solve problems , theorize, plan and think up scenarios and so on. It will take me much less simply because I'm faster in my electrical setup. My neuron equivalents move at the speed of light.
I don't see why lacking a personality or a body would be a problem. And even if it were, we could provide me with those things fairly easily. Work in that area is underway and looks promising, last time I checked.
