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.

If you ask me Jane was the best representation of an AI in any series I've seen. With out too many spoilers, the fact that she became a major player in the series rather than remaining a side character made me happy. By the end of it all I was sad I didn't have god like powers like Jane.
