Intelligence without wisdom is dangerous at best, and most often, evil. Remember who is influencing AI. Few of them are really good people. Most consider themselves above the masses, omnipotent, and omniscient. Do you really believe they have the best interest of the general public, or even the truth, as any priority of theirs?
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
I'm not so sure they have the good of their victims in mind. But I'm pretty sure who their intended victims are.
