The history of humanity is full of examples of people using technology to prevail over other groups of people. Applications of AI and ML will be no exception: computer vision, game theory, autonomous systems, material design, espionage, cryptography... You name it.

Supraintelligent AI is not required to cause severe problems.

I'm sure they have, but none of those fields have been exploited for marketability, at least nowhere near this degree.

Not sure what you mean, but for the most part AI and ML is being integrated into systems where there's too much data to be processed manually... like satellite/aerial imagery, tapped internet backbones, security cameras, etc.
