I assume it will be something more along the lines of Harris actually being a failed Hopkins experiment at AI, and he knows that he's a robot. Not sure how much he knows though, or how much they know he knows. His quest is he is trying to meet his creator and get all his questions about life answered.

If Ed Harris is reprising the role that Yul Brynner played in the movie then your are correct. When the Man in Black said he was coming here for 30 years I think he meant Deloris' farm. In other words she and he have a history, and since she (Deloris) is one of original "hosts" and he knows it I be the Man in Black is a robot looking for answers.
