Imagine this AI had access to the internet (after all, it'd be using cloud resources). Suppose it was smarter than the smartest human ever. I'm not that smart, and here's some things I can think it could do that would be scary:

- Find security holes in all computer systems, then replicate itself onto vulnerable systems

- Intercept, fake, modify phone calls (including between government members)

- Procure large amounts of money and then pay people to execute its bidding

- Make itself more intelligent

But again, it'd be smarter than me, so these ideas I just came up with in the 5 minutes since I saw your question wouldn't hold a candle to theoretical worst case.

Honestly all this super intelligent AI takes over the world looks like a fairy tale. Doubt that it has any realistic chance of it.
