Show me a computer that can power and maintain itself and I'll start worrying.

The risk AI poses is the same as fossil fuel or nuclear weapons, human decisions are the problem.

But the cool new thing is because humans struggle to understand the difference between a calculation and a decision, we can blame AI for any harmful decisions we make based on its calculations.
