It is definitely a threat but bear in mind that there will not be a single machine intelligence but every computer can only carry one and will interface with the others through the network.
That means that it will suffer the same fault that humanity has, a limited interface to others and a lot of coordination problems.
My take on it is that strong AI will be more similar to a dog unless we succeed in building a computer with more computation power than the human brain.
