The real risk is that humans will use AIs to asses the risk/benefits of starting a war... and an AI will give them the "go ahead" without considering mutually assured destruction from everyone else doing exactly the same.

It's not that AIs will get super-human, it's that humans will blindly trust limited AIs and exterminate each other.
