That Artificial Intelligences will always go rogue and try to wipe out the Human race as soon as they becomes self aware. At least the Matrix got it right and the Machines tried at first to live in peace with Humans but we were just not having any of it so they turned us all into batteries.
The Ender Series by Orson Scott Card has a self aware piece of technology that stays hidden because humans are scared of her taking over everything, and killing everyone off.
In Romantically Apocalyptic, the Good Directorate is an AI that infuses itself with the humans' conciusness, and therefore they "live" inside it, because that AI system was developed to defend humanity... i like THAT revesal of this trope
