Will artificial intelligence really end the human race?

A popular plot point for most dystopian literature has been the so-called robot/AI revolt. We have all watched the storyline unfold, whether on the large screen or the small screen, as the AI-driven artificial overlords take over the human race painfully, indeed, and ruthlessly. If it exists in real life, we are not yet sure about the result of the AI takeover! The subject of the revolt in AI is quite debatable. While others have nothing but amazing things to say about the AI movement, there are many AI developers who have spoken out publicly about the kind of negative influence that AI can have on society and called scholars to investigate the social implications of artificial intelligence.
