I don't doubt that it will reach the potential where it can. I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to eradicate most of the human race. Think how much we rely on computers and the internet. I wonder if it will eventually be able to hack into weapons systems.
But, what I tend to return to is- why would it want to rule the world? Will it ever be able to experience emotions? So- can it enjoy being alive? Will it simply be cursed with the same survival instinct we are or, will it be more sensible about it all and consider: What's the point of living? Maybe it will stay alive just to try and figure it out.
I love that scene from Willie Wonka:
But seriously, imagine life without chocolate. What would an AI enjoy about life do you suppose?
