The first intelligent AIs will be weak and have limited influence on real world human affairs. The worst we have now is poorly supervised automatic trading systems that can shift massive amounts of money through electronic markets.
However, once AIs can design and implement their own successors all bets are off.
I would also be concerned about the development of non-theraputic neural implants and the ability of an AI to surreptitiously influence human behavior through them. Thankfully that is likely to to be further off than when we start bumping into the AI singularity.
