What's scary is this will probably be the first way an advanced AI negatively effects us.

Soon they will be able to find and use 0day software/hardware vulnerabilities, from here it will spread and reproduce and take steps to remain undetected. It likely won't 'attack' but it will put itself in a position where if it became threatened, it could.

The only response is a forced internet shutdown, as there will be no way to clear systems without the AI learning it is being removed, and begin morphing into a version that will not be detected, or thousands of different versions.

Once found, they need to pull the plug on all of us, before saying why - just out of nowhere the will be no internet.

With the AI in the dark and unable to receive any news, mail out USB drives with the anti-virus that will remove it.
