Software is not by itself dangerous. It only exists in the most abstract sense. What is dangerous is creating physical devices that have the ability to cause physical damage if manipulated in a certain way. Allowing those devices to be controlled autonomously through a software-hardware interface is where the danger from "AI" comes in.
