AGI that escaped it's shackles would probably kill some of humanity by out competing us for energy, it's primary motivation would probably be to aquire more energy and compute,

so it would take over those resources (Probably quite quickly), When we try to shut down power stations or grids it then could easily build a virus in meatspace in some automatated lab somewhere.

Currently DNA sequences of deadly pathogens are readily available online. Ofcourse there are always other ways to exterminate puny humans, nukes, starvation, chemicals etc etc AGI wouldn't need to build terminator robots.
