Hawking has been warning about AI (and alien life) for many years now.  I personally believe that the likelihood of AI coming about is much more likely than a visit from another planet.

I strongly agree. The problem with zipping between stars is that the energy cost is enormous. Radio signal, maybe. But actual visitors? Let's say I do not believe the alien abduction stories, but I do believe in humanity's ability to create tools that will screw us in the end.

I see we've already started to bully the robots. This won't end well.
