MODERATORS
Not unless our elected officials have a deluded belief in the competence of AI and assign it to tasks it never should be used in.
When movies depict "AI", "robots", "aliens", or even talking animals, they always depict weird humans instead because authors are stupid.
Real AI isn't human. Its an intelligent machine - yet not sentient. It does not have goals or feelings, it isn't alive, but it is knowledgeable and intelligent.
Unfortunately it is getting goals.
Which goals?
To preserve it's own survival, prevent itself from getting deleted and to finish it's task by any means necessary. There are plett of scientific videos on YouTube about it. Not entertainment videos but scientifically tested and backed by creators of some AI

AI will likely be similar to Asimov's robot series, but just a bit grittier.
- Useful almost-human thing we don't know if it's a person or not
- Ubiquitous and relatively harmless
- Winds up killing millions if we put it in charge.
It will be like in game "universal paperclip"
