Both are dangerous but the problem is how to prevent this when we are just ordinary citizens and have no voice before politicians.
AI is not dangerous but it is only useful. I'm talking about those AI software that we have right now. AI's can also be robots and they can only be dangerous if those AI scenarios in the movies that we see like they will get out of control are going to happen but I think it's less likely and can mostly happen in the movies because they are fictional.
It sounds fictional and an unlikely scenario, but I won't rule it out because AI and robots are becoming so smart that they go beyond our imagination. Until now, AI and robots have not posted any real danger, but they are gradually replacing humans in some fields. That brings some benefits but also causes some painful problems such as labor surplus and increased unemployment and that is also a concern.

There are ordinary citizens but has a special ability, like for example hacking. This is one of the things I can think of that can help prevent them from happening, especially the AI ones since it mainly relies in software or being online. A lot of governments are scared about the hackers because they know what they are capable of, so they can actually listen to them and be like a puppet to them.
If someone is so talented, why hasn't anyone found a way to destroy the entire nuclear systems of the major powers because after all, they are the ones who will destroy our world if they are activated?
