God, I hope so.
All joking aside though, I don't see artificial intelligence destroying humanity any time soon.
Mostly, because it's really hard to create "intelligence". No one's done it yet.
Also, suppose an artificially intelligent being were to be spawned magically. Further, suppose it were pure evil and wanted to destroy all humans. And, suppose it were given access to the internet. How would it even begin to exert its will in the real world? Flipping IOT lights off and on? Nothing truly dangerous is connected to the internet.
