Personally, I don't worry about the AI spontaneously deciding to kill all humans.

The worry I have is that a small number of humans with money and power will finally get the tools they need to pull the wool over the eyes of everyone else and subjugate the population.

One problem that dictators have had previously is that they needed a large workforce to do this with a finely stratified power structure, this meant they were open to other humans close in power to them taking over the system. If they can have a large power difference between themselves and the next level down, power will be far easier to hold on to.

It's a well known trope in dystopian future fiction, the small cabal of powerful rulers hiding behind a system of computers that keep the populace under strict control. It is seeming increasingly likely that this will be the one we have.
