Well, I'm a noob, but I don't really understand why AI is so dangerous. If we created a superintelligent AI on supercomputer (or a laptop or whatever)even if it was malevolent, how could it take over the world/kill all humans or whatever? It would be a software program on a computer. Assuming we didn't give it the capacity to manufacture, how would it make all those microscopic killbots anyway?
