The other catastrophic possibility is humans using AI to construct an eventually worldwide dictatorship. A small group of humans could concentrate all the power that AI will have, especially if we achieve AGI or superintelligence. And it would be much harder to get rid of that kind of authoritarian power than what we've seen with fascism and what happened in the USSR, because they didn't have this technology that is becoming more and more feasible of surveillance and even shaping public opinion.
