Seems to me that some isolated artificially intelligent computer sitting on a deserted island somewhere isn't going to cause much trouble. Rather, it's the combination of a totally connected electronic world with an AI entity (and the notion that the AI entity would kinda sorta be a "native" of the interconnected electronic world) that could cause a lot of trouble. Of course there are other reasons why having everything be "connected to the internet" (light switches, refrigerators, nuclear warheads) is probably not the wisest idea... would an AI with bad intentions really be any more harmful then a human being with bad intentions who had access to every interconnected thing?
