It's moreso envisioning how mass production would be applied to it, than anything.

And that's certainly not true. Zombies in media are generally ridiculous in many ways even if you handwave the actual function of a zombie virus. For the same reasons an AI uprising is simply not remotely scary compared to media portrayals of the idea; we've yet to find or make something similar. A little like saying we're experimenting with planet-glassing lasers because we're experimenting with powerful lasers.

Research is being done on all sorts of much more immediately dangerous stuff, and generally with very good reason.
