An ai could easily hire people (if it had any access to money) to operate as 'agents', to basically do what only humans could do, i.e. setup bank accounts, etc. Some banks might even arise that let wealthy ai's actually CREATE their own accounts, why not if it's lucretive?

An ai can create voice, and visual representations of a real person, perhaps even hijacking (kidnapping someone, steeling their identity and forcing them to act on their behalf whether via some sort of mind interface, etc.).

Even bigger would be if ai could simply create human/ai hybrids that basically allow them to walk/talk in the human world unseen. Imagine a hat or earpiece that basically takes over a host's brain, etc, or just replacing a human's brain with a cyborg one that has all the same features, except different persona/soul/conscious...

I'm playing devils' advocate here, I don't think it'll play out, but its easy enough to see from at least a sci-fi fan, ways in which it could using tech that wouldn't be that big of a jump from what we already are capable of, and what will be available in the next 50 years.
