Stephen Hawking stated that alien contact would likely not end well for humans, so I'll worry about that when aliens arrive. AI is here and now and developing. 

Just like God, there is absolutely zero evidence for alien life.

Now the laws of mathematics and probability does assume there is a high probability of such due to the vastness of the universe and the number of planetary bodies that would exist.

Hence why Stephen Hawking, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Brian Cox etc' have all said that due to the fact there are approximately 2 trillion galaxies, each with 100's of billions of stars in each said galaxy, many of those stars feature upwards of several dozen planets... There is a statistical probability that life has formed on another planet.

But they also state that, we also don't have evidence to support that idea... So the appropriate response is: "We don't know".

Just to add on this, while they state that it's mathematically almost impossible (as in, about as probable to win the jackpot in a lottery twice in a row), that life doesn't have to be sentient or even further evolved than bacteria or algae. 

Also, while it's not the movie version or even AI, Skynet does exist, In the US as well as China. Both are systems to hunt down humans, even...
