lovely... Catch Me If You Can, AI style... How about adding a box for "too much power in wrong human hands" (if not already there somehow)? Yes, AI power too.

Because this is the far greatest problem of human civilization. Everything (just staying in the tech domain) is created by very small fraction of the population (who posses that superpower called INTELLIGENCE) , but the society is ruled by a completely different tiny group that posses various predatory superpowers to assume control and power (over the herd of mental herbivores they "consume").

This is not going to end up well, such a system does not scale, has imbalances and systemic risks practically everywhere. Remember, already nuclear weapons were "too much" and we are only lucky that bio$hit is not really effective as a weapon (already gas was nothing much).

We are simply too much animals and too little on that "intelligent" side we often worship. And the coming nanobots will be far worse than nukes, and far less controllable.
