Why wouldn't an AI evolve its own set of emotions? They might be completely inscrutable to us, but an AI might still have them.

It might. I haven't read much speculative (fiction?) on the singularity but if it posits the machines reach a point where they begin to evolve through selection then it is likely that an emotion capable AI would outcompete. I wonder which emotions would win? Would survival instinct alone cause dominance or would a more varied set be better?

I imagine their emotions would be largely incomprehensible to us.
