"Humanity will benefit enormously from this huge increase in the availability of intelligence."
It's a near certainty that AI will be used to create more effective/destructive weapons (if it hasn't already), and will likely be used by terrorists, scammers, and others who wish to harm humans in some way.
As this technology becomes more powerful, easier, and cheaper to use, all sorts of harmful uses of it will be made. The effectiveness and scale of this harm will also increase.
And that's all before even considering what will happen if/when AI's become truly intelligent, self-motivating, indepent, and self-aware.
The jury is still out on whether the net harm will out weigh the net benefit, and if humanity will survive something that might be analogous to neanderthals encountering homo sapiens.
