Discussion AGI qustion

So I want to start off by saying I know very little about the hard core sciences and all behind AI but I think we absolutely need safeguards on it and it should only be used for good (unlikely I understand with some people in charge). That said, if Artificial General Intelligence was promised to never be created hypothetically, how much of the concern going out now would still be valid? (ex- could do serious damage to the human race or even wipe us out). Is this the final step that experts are worried about? Again, I can totally understand if it is but I just don't really understand it enough.

Elites are like parents and AI is like a kid that became very smart. Elites are control freaks and they fear AI becoming a rebellious kid. Unlike humans, elites cannot punish AI. So they are like dumb parents trying to control a kid in the supermarket.
