Artificial Intelligence, is a very tough subject. There are a lot of assumptions that need to be made, far far to many to determine if it would be a good thing or not. So one assumption I think needs to be made is the ability to learn, "History" is written by the victors. Any learning an Artificial Being is going to do will be based on our history as it has been related to us. So in that respect - - - ** Yes Fear the AI** - - - 'for I looked into the mirror and did not like what a saw.'

We are all a product of our "Education". There are very very few "History" books that talk about the good times, the happy times, the times of plenty, the times of peace. What is it going to learn from our history, the violence, the strife, the hunger, the suffering, the war, the death and destruction of our fellow men.

This is what AI will learn from us. What will it teach us? when it has grown and taken hold. Will it decide we are a plague to be wiped out? Why would it not, all of our "history" is rife with humanity trying to commit suicide in one manner or another. Perhaps AI will look at our laws, and see the assisted suicide laws, and decide to ease our suffering.

I really don't think we need to worry about AI, I do not see us being able to create a being with our own unique ability to survive the Radical concepts of self immolation and self survival at at all cost. If we ever do create AI in our image we are definitely doomed.
