I would rather say that yes AI could be a great potential threat to the humans and here I present some reasons to support my view :
Taking example of human evolution , we see in charles darwins "theory of survival of fittest" how humans dominated over other animal species as they were far better in their logical resonings and more eager to learn thus developed in to civilised beings
Thus its quite natural that superior beings try to dominate over inferior beings as the passage of time
Therefore it is very much possible that AI might try to rule over humans (either physically or psychologically)
Today AI sector is focused on developing tools which are more efficient and accurate than humans and making them self sufficient to learn
from their past mistakes and nearby environment (very similar to human way of learning)
Also, AI sector is more focused to gave them a more human like figure (as we see many AI humanoid robots like Sophia, Citizen of Saudi Arabia)
which gives a more challenging vibes as humans and AI robots , despite having almost same structure , are quite different in their performance
Although AI is still in research and inovation stage , still today we see they change humans in terms of skills ,accuracy , speed which lead to cases of humans loosing their jobs due to AI.
It is a no doubt fact that AI has been a boon to human civilisation in many ways, still we should be careful and aware , and should ensure that AI should not able master humans in near future.
At last , I would say that use of AI is good for human development, but it should be considered as the last way to solution to a problem, which will help us to reduce the dependency on AI, thus reducing its potential threats on humans in near future.
