I still think the Skynet scenario is hobgoblins of the imaginative mind.

More than likely, new forms of narrow AI will eat and destroy the vast majority white-collar jobs. This is most likely to end in mass unemployment, even more extreme income inequality, and a dystopian world run by a few trillionaires who challenge, if not replace, the power structures of governments.
