That's not necessarily true, it'll depend on how quickly AI advances once it reaches the point of singularity.
I'd like to hope we'd end up with a scenario like in the film
Her (2013) where AI surpasses our intelligence at such an exceptional rate that our existence is of no interest/threat to them/it
Elon Musk is absolutely correct though, once you create something more intelligent than yourself you lose control of your future.
It's happening though so we better deal with it!
Cambridge University is one of the few places that have conducted studies focusing on risks that could annihilate mankind in this century and Artificial Intelligence is arguably top of the list
