If we get actual "can think better than a human being" AI - that will likely be the first baby step towards our destruction. And if develop quantum computing and then smart AI - I am 100% certain we will quickly destroy ourselves. A mention of Pandora's box can be a cliché but what else can I say?

eh, we won't get either of those things. we (probably) won't even destroy ourselves. but industrial civilization is already on the downward swing. the whole thing depends on fossil fuels and the math doesn't check out on their replacements. over the next couple hundred years, in fits and starts, we'll make our way back to an iron age. maybe with some solarpunk characteristics.
