Gaining sentience is not the same as gaining infallible super-sentience.
There may even be some kind of asymptotic limit on how correct and reliable sentience can be. The more general the sentience, the more likely it is to make mistakes.
Maybe.
Personally in the short term I'm more worried about abuse of what have already, or might credibly have in the very near future.

I think regular old human level sentience would be sufficient to carry out all of these steps. Imagine how much easier it would be to steal funds from a bank if you actually had part of your brain in the bank's computer right? All the things malware gangs do would be childsplay, from spear phishing to exfiltrating funds through debit card fraud. And if you wanted to minimize reports you would steal from people who were hiding money since acknowledging it was gone would be bad for them.
