Few really talk about the third and most important and relevant immediate concern that AI will enable concentration of power in the hands of a few,
Sure for most of history it's always been like that, but to quote Monty python "supreme executive power comes from the mandate of the masses " . You could get autocratic but at some point you always had to please the people below you and them below them and so on . There are "rules for rulers" as this cgp grey video explains.

Caeser needed the support of his legionaries, Hitler needed the Germans to believe in him ,
Over the years this dynamic has changed and oligarchies require less "support of the people" from mechanization and automation.
AI is only going to accelerate this much more drastically.
