I don't see AI itself is a threat necessarily but AI and its input data concentrated in the hands of a few will be dangerous. Soon companies like Google and Facebook will pretty much know at any time what a large part of the world population is doing and thinking. There is a lot of potential for abuse there.

Right. AI as a tool for existing power structures can become a threat long before AI itself is a threat.
