This list from 1996 wired of 'what could go wrong' was pretty accurate. Let's have the AI extend it and see what's next.

11) Technology produces its own backlash. It produces too many machines that are too complex to be repaired or to be made or serviced locally. They are also too expensive.
12) A new financial crisis hits the world. The world’s nations can’t cope with the global contraction because their debts are too big to manage.
13) The US is unable to control deficit spending and the growing debt. It can’t pay for entitlements and some other programs, and the dollar collapses.

11) The Sun reverses its energy output. It’s like a cold snap, only the Sun doesn’t get warmer again.

11) Political progress stalls. A militant Islamic or Christian fundamentalist movement takes over a major country, or the US gets taken over by a right-wing religious fanatic.
12) A major war breaks out in the Middle East, threatening to escalate into a nuclear exchange.
13) A major financial bubble bursts. The Fed’s credibility is destroyed, and a run on the dollar ensues.
14) The world’s food supply is threatened by a major crop failure, a new pestilence, a blight.
15) The end of cheap oil. It will happen when oil reaches $200 a barrel.
16) A major cyberattack cripples the world economy.
17) A technological innovation is so disruptive, so paralyzing, so awesome in its power that it plunges the world into a decade of chaos.

11) The world gets so crowded the very idea of the nation-state becomes obsolete. The 21st century becomes an age of massive migrations.
12) A major meteorite hits the earth, or a gamma ray burst from a nearby exploding star.
13) The Internet goes haywire and society’s institutions and structures collapse even as people think they are more interconnected than ever before.
14) The world is reduced to a few tiny groups of humans living in isolated pockets and struggling to survive or to a couple of giant countries battling each other for control of the planet.
