On the whole, there's so much involved in the concept of AI it would be impossible for me to answer with anything definite, because, at this point, it seems all answers are valid in at least one context or another and any answer would require an elaboration of the context in which it applies.
As it is happening now, there are already advances in AI being used 'successfully' in military applications up to the level of robot terrain vehicles and flying drones but they all currently require human oversight and supervision. At the level of sea-going vehicles, not so much overall success it seems - at least in the West.
I would think that those who are concerned about the dangers of AI have a good case because even the work of good intentions tends to be co-opted, stolen, bought, sued-for or suppressed. As always, the psychos need to go first, then we might have a clearer field of vision to see how best to develop and deploy AI or scrap this stuff altogether, OSIT. Others may have different views.
