Is an AI /machine-driven world better than a human driven world?

I recently spoke at a panel/debate at the World Government Summit in Dubai and also attended the AI Roundtable organized by the AI society at Harvard Kennedy school of government. The topic discussed was "Is a machine-driven world better? I was on the side of the Machines. Not an easy debate – someone referred to us as the'evil team'! After the panel, I shared my thoughts with Gregory Piatetsky Shapiro. Gregory motivated me to also consider the contra perspective i.e. the risks of an AI driven world.
