Nobody can say with absolute certainty, but mainstream experts generally agree that AI is not currently on track to destroy humanity. However, the debate over whether future superintelligent systems could pose an existential threat has become one of the most intense discussions in technology and policy. 
The Two Major Perspectives
The Alarmists (Existential Risk View): High-profile researchers—including prominent safety engineers at labs like OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as computer science pioneers like Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio—warn about the potential for Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). They argue that if an AI becomes drastically smarter than humans and develops self-improving capabilities, we could face an “alignment problem” where we lose the ability to control its goals or shut it down. 
The Skeptics (Pragmatic / Hype View): Many computer scientists, tech executives, and industry veterans (such as Yann LeCun or Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang) view extinction scenarios as pure science-fiction exaggeration. They point out that current AI models are statistical pattern matchers rather than conscious entities with desires or autonomous agency. From this viewpoint, warning of apocalyptic futures shifts focus away from immediate, tangible issues. 
Where the Real Dangers Lie
Rather than a “Terminator-style” scenario, most experts agree that the primary risks of AI are much more immediate and human-driven
