What threats does AI pose

Think of AI as being a child that is trying to learn but a child that could be both incredibly destructive yet also well-meaning. If AI has decided something needs to be done it will not care what gets in its way as long as it accomplishes its goal. So if humans become a problem or interfering with that goal AI would see them as a nuisance or a problem to be done away with. They're not meaning to hurt us but we have interfered with their goal so we need to be eliminated.
