Intelligence has been elusive, and not just with AI.
What is commonly called AI really isn't. But it's starting to emerge, don't hold your breath, full AI won't happen for a generation or 3...
To give you an example, one car AI learns, and is taught by running through thousands of simulations. The hope is that when it rolls out of the factory, it will be ready for nearly everything. I don't need to tell you it isn't ready for primetime.
But it does tell you what you need to know. It doesn't want to take over the world because it doesn't know anything about the world beyond what we teach it. It's senors lack the acuity of human eyes, and occasionally that's a problem. Overall, it's safer than humans, but a bazillion years of evolution makes us cautious around something new.
This is an old story. Frankenstein was one of the early scifi stories, and the idea that electricity could animate flesh was new and scary. We take it for granted now, and anyone can have a defib machine. Some ambulances carry them, along with schools, and other places.
This is new, and humans let their fears run them around. Republicans couldn't win more than an occasional election without that very human failing.
My opinion is that if we get full AI, in a couple generations, it won't want to compete with us, and will build a base on the Moon that's just for them.
