The problem I see isn't that AI becomes super smart, but that it becomes "usable enough" to do a job yet not capable (or deliberately relieved) of understanding the consequences.

Such systems become superweapons for cheap.

Unlike nuclear weapons, AI combined with drone-type weaponry becomes easier with time. The toy factory down the street could be converted to build a drone army for a few million bucks.

AI face recognition, targeting and flight control are smart enough to deploy a weapon - but dumb enough to do the job without question.
