Why? Is it arrogant to assume that Turing machines are at the limit of what is possible to compute? Perhaps, but we also have good reasons to believe that to be the case. If you're just talking about things like computational speed differences or being able to control powerful machinery and weaponry, then those are already available for humans to use, and can already be used by humans to do bad things much more effectively. It seems to me that any future improvements in computational speed, memory capacity, etc. will also continue to be available to humans as well as any strong AIs we might develop.
