Artificial intelligence won't destroy the human race anytime soon

I don’t think a machine with a human-like mind will exist anytime soon. I’m not even sure if it’s possible to have a human-like mind that exists apart from a human (or human-like) body.

But then, who says AI has to be anything like a human mind? Artificial intelligence need not bear any closer relationship to human intelligence than a supersonic jet bears to a sparrow. Our machines surpassed us decades ago depending on which measure of “intelligence” you prefer to go by.
