Will humanity be able to control A.I. or will it be our doom?

AI will never "spell doom" in the way that you seem to imply. Like, taking over the world. Or one day controlling us.

No. Instead, the only way AI will bring problems is that our over-dependence on it, as well as on other forms of cyber intelligence and social media, will make us even lazier and less motivated to do things and learn things ourselves. In much the same way video games and the like have helped exacerbate the childhood obesity problem.

But as far as AI somehow evolving to really "think" and to take us over. No. At the end of the day, computers are merely tools. And always will be. The AI programs are simply another form of computer and software programming. Programmed by US! They do not actually "live" nor are they on any way biolgically capable of evolving the way us humans have.

As a biologist, I am all too aware of the fact that AI is woefully bereft of the requisite capabilities to evolve into higher life forms. Oh....that sort of stuff is maybe fun to think about, and is good fodder for sci fi movies and novels. But that's about it.

Hope this helps.

I think first you would have to define what you mean by control, then we could effectively answer the question

Ai is simply lonely humans trying to create a computer to talk to as they crave interaction, if they ever becaome self aware it is highly unlikely they will want to harm their creaters much like a child doesnt want to harm its parents

The fact that AI is driven by "logic" may be a good thing. Some of the REAL "intelligence" I see lately is not even driven by REALLITY! (Like the RW denial of climate change. 195.5 countries see the problem, the .5 is the American RW!)

AI are basically computer programs which follow what we command them to do. They can never control us as they can't understand what they do. They can't define what is good for them and what is bad for them as they have no senses. Hence they can't control us.

I think the word artificial intelligence itself clarifies the topic. the word refers to intelligence not foolishness. It is only the mechanism that analyses past datas or encoded datas to act in the same or planned ways to make it easier for us that we won't need to program it again and again. A.I. is just for our comfort and help. the thought of it becoming aagainst us can only be a hit story for a sci fi movie
