It sounds like you're talking about the kinds of AI in use today? That's not what the cautions are about, since current "AI" however good at reading individual words or flying drones is not yet capable of human-level thought. The cautions are about trans-sapient AI, which doesn't exist yet. Even if it's simply a beefed up "set of statistical frameworks" linked in the right way to get a computer behave like a human, humans develop and use nuclear weapons, humans go on shooting sprees, humans decide to go to war...

So you mean AI that are not necessarily intelligent or conscious but are just more integrated in our lives, for example in the military or law enforcement? I can see how a bug in those kinds of systems could cause things like that without necessarily being conscious or intelligent.
