Could artificial intelligence REALLY wipe out humanity?

MANY fear that artificial intelligence will be the end of humankind – here's the truth according to experts. By now, most people around the world use some sort of AI-utilizing device that is integrated into their daily lives. They use Siri to check the weather, or ask Alexa to turn off their smart lights – these are all forms of AI that many people don't realize. However, despite the widespread (and relatively harmless) use of this technology in nearly every facet of our lives, some people still seem to believe that machines could one day wipe out humanity. This apocalyptic ideal has been perpetuated through various texts and movies over the years.
