Only A Daffodil Between Us

Nobody knows how the AI phenomenon will play out but it really does depend who you talk to because for every 'it will help us develop new drugs, diagnose illness quicker, fight climate change and eliminate poverty' there is another group calling for the brakes to slammed on.
I'm on the side of the worried researchers who are calling for an immediate pause in its development due to fears that the technology could pose risks to humanity and they offer up ways it could al go horribly wrong.
First up is the theory that if we become the less intelligent species, we could be wiped out and they offer up scores of times when a species has been wiped out by others that were smarter, us humans have already wiped out a significant amount of the 'not so smart' species on Earth.
Next up is the Minority Report scenario where powerful algorithmic technology is used and makes incredibly high-stakes mistakes falsely accusing people of crimes but as the AI is deemed infallible, it is accepted as correct.
Third is it would smart enough to want us dead as we cause the problems but be subtle enough to kill us 'by accident' for example by creating a new wonder drug given at birth which eliminates cancer but also unknowingly makes the user sterile hence ending the Human Race in one generation.
Fourth is a Terrorist Organisation gains control and is able to access weapons we really would wish they couldn't access and fifth  is where the AI develops its own goals and survival instinct and we are viewed merely as a collection of troublesome DNA which could be used elsewhere or taken out of the equation altogether.
Scientists are saying that the current AI has the brain power of a squirrel and squirrel to super human is a massive leap but as Humans share around 85% of our DNA with the nut burying mammal, we are less than a daffodil's DNA away from them.
