The benefit of ai could be that it improves a person's memory recall (think 100% photographic memory) and reasoning ability (if it could allow us to detach from our emotions and temporarily think logically like the Vulcans on Star Trek). I think improving a person's memory is a big one.
The danger and downside of any computer technology is that it can be hacked, or have hidden programming for someone's secret agenda. Especially if it uses a brain computer interface - do we really want to trust someone putting a computer in our brain? One day you're superman with superhuman memory recall, and the next thing you know, someone has taken control of your body and speech so you can't even scream help (ever see the movie "Get Out"?)
Nefarious purposes aside, if a tech prosthesis can give a living thing improved memory recall and logical reasoning, you could theoretically fit a grasshopper, a dog, or any living thing with it, and it would be a conscious living being and be intelligent and able to learn and use language.
But back to the original problem, which is that this stuff is developed by powerful governments and corporations who aren't interested in empowering just anyone. They have always been about looking out for #1 and exploiting everyone else. Problem #2 is rogue employees looking to embed their own secret back doors into these systems, to use for personal gain.
Welcome to the 21st century!
