About the only science fiction author you mention is Vernor Vinge. I think many of the earlier authors (such as Saberhagen) touched upon the threat to humanity from AIs that are smarter than we are. Possibly a good place to ask for more details is one of the science fiction discussion sites listed in the SFRG.

You can find fairly extensive coverage of the sci-fi that covers these issues in Broderick's article for JCS.
