Yeah but how will AI be a threat?

Bears don't just see us as ants, they see us as food. I don't see much of a bear apocalypse going on right now.

I'm quoting the quote to add another question. How likely is it in this fictional scenario that an AI, created by humans, surpasses human intellect? How should that work, apart from processing power, energy and self repair routines needed, since the AI is a threat in this scenario. So it can't expect to be serviced by humans.
