Remember that what we call AI really isn't. It's just a more advanced iteration of the programs used to create fake scientific papers from 10+ years ago. They're not going to take over humanity. Instead, the threats are from where they've always come from: evil people with lots of ambition. North Korea, China, and Russia already did this to subjugate their populations. So did Germany, Italy, and Cambodia among many others. All of them found that exploiting the stupid and gullible by way of mass media to create shock troops of enthusiastic thugs was very effective. Events of the past 15 or so years show that this technique remains effective: roadblocks, rioting, looting, arson, IEDs, harassment, extortion, assault, murder -- all executed by enthusiastic mobs.
