I don’t think so.
AIs are just tools. They might be smarter tools than what we had before, but they are still really dumb, and they don’t have consciousness and they aren’t very adaptive to changing situations.

Not the kind of AI we have now. But some very smart people take this question seriously, and argue we should work now to make sure that AI isn’t harmful, if it ever gets really smart. And people could already use AI to do bad things (e.g., altering the outcome of an election), which wouldn’t require AI to be very smart. But the ‘Terminator’ scenario is likely very far away.
