The biggest danger of AI isn't that it will revolt but that it'll allow dictators and other totalitarians complete control over the population.

And I mean total. A sufficiently advanced algorithm will be able to find everything a person has ever posted online (by cross referencing, writing style, etc.) and determine their views and opinions with high accuracy. It'll be able to extrapolate the evolution of a person's opinions.

The government will be able to target dissidents even before they realize they are dissidents, let alone before they have time to organize.
