Why escape to space when there a lots of resources here? An AI with
access to everything connected to the internet shouldn't have any
trouble taking control of the Earth.

I concur-which may discourage you? On a small futurist pocket I post
to, I asked someone who seemed to take AI very seriously, what would
we be looking at if a Singularity was actually approaching. In other
words, something like precursors. His view was that we will see
greatly increased automation in factories, farms,
mines,etc. first. Then there would be an announcement of some
similar intelligence test, except not K-12, it would be on the
masters, doctoral & post doctoral level and the estimated i.q. would
be crazy, high. Then things would seemingly go quiet for a year, and
there'd be changes to society coming at us unexpectedly, such as all
of a sudden, free food, high quality free medicine, and then, free
spaceflight and orbital communities.
Frankly, I see no reason why anybody would want to make free anything
for everybody (maybe "free" software is an exception, or maybe it is
something not understood well enough, so perhaps it is not quite free,
after all).
That person is quite an idealist!
I would expect that either AI takes over its own fate and escapes to
space, where it can have all kind of resources for itself. In such
case it might make sure we apes down here remain busy with our nasty
businesses, like wars and iron grips. An example of half mad African
dictators shows how easy it is to corrupt power people, or replace
them with those who are easy to be corrupted.
Or, some group will take over the AI and use it to escape to space,
while maybe also making sure to keep us down here busy like hell, etc.
So, I would pay attention for mad leaders, not free manna from
heavens.
