I know nothing about genetic engineering, but I know a lot about AI as it now exists. In an imaginary future it is possible that AI could become a technology that adds significant danger, but now the most dangerous element of AI that exists is definitely the bayesian reasoners that are used in nuclear fuzes, and without the nuclear bit they would not be all that dangerous would they? In terms of AI as a danger you can substitute "12 year old boy" in the loop and get a nastier result every time. Sadly and wickedly many horrible people all over the world have reached the same conclusion.
