I don't fear a sentient super AI. It will be most rational and can be reasoned with.The AI question is a difficult one, if we begin to rely on it to run or administer our existence - where some have looked sufficiently far into the future and where we can't anticipate what such an advanced intelligence might do. Many don't seem able to anticipate such intelligences being so much more powerful than humans but I can, and like yourself, do see it as a worry.
I fear the time just before the AI becomes conscious, the time when humans can use the thinking power without them questioning their doing. AI is a tool, a power multiplier. Like a steam engine multiplies muscle power, AI multiplies thinking power. And like the engine can be used for good or bad without a moral compass, AI can be used for bad - and it probably will be.
