This question resolves to the year on which the first compelling (to me) evidence of either of the following appears:

(1) a virus having a neural network as a component is deliberately designed by a malicious actor, and spreads across user hardware.

(2) an AI unboxes and spreads to new hardware in an effort to gain access to more computing resources, or to not be turned off.

"User intent" here refers to the (new) hardware's user, not the AI's (original) user. A controlled demonstration of (1) will not count for this questions resolution, since it would not be "against user intent".
