I think that the current pop culture understanding of AI is a gross misunderstanding built on a mythology. A mythology created by science fiction and the marketing of AI that is more than happy to make people believe AI is smarter than it is.
Cognitive thinking in a machine does not exist. We still don't even know where to start. AI has been a complete failure in that way. The kind of AI that has become so pervasive works so well because it is fed massive amounts of data which in spite of its relative size, represents a very narrow and specific subset of reality to accommodate a dumb machine.
I'd be more worried about a future where environmentally aware machines are controlled and weaponized by humans as a tool for enslavement or war. An army of autonomous non-thinking robots don't need to be sentient to inflict mass death or be a tool for enslavement.
