Some Chinese guy saw IP addresses as scarce resource and took a whole chunk of it out of Africa to lease to non-African organizations. Obviously, this made him unpopular as well.
This raises my alarm: AI (Aristotle) proved a conjecture: Erdos Problem #124. It's concerning not that AI will become self-aware, but proving conjectures is normally in the realm of creativity, not brute force logic. If it is by brute force logic, then we are talking about solving proofs, not solving conjectures (recollecting this as something some Indian retards at Drexel/UPenn's graduate level program couldn't distinguish - "oh we solves conjectures all the time in high schools back in India".) If a conjecture remains unsolved, that means either no many know about it (thus brute force would be possible here), or it requires immense creativity (human ingenuity) which is unlikely in AI's domain. But sometimes, creativity is just a matter of applying various not previously relevant fields together, so in that case, AI creativity may be sufficient. AI creativity is good, in that it pushes us better than just being clever.
