Artificial Intelligence is a type of science that deals with helping machines find answers to problems in a more human-like way. To do this, scientists are using the characteristics from humans and making it so that computers understand these human ways. AI is a part of computer science, but it also links with other fields like Math, Psychology, Cognition, Biology and Philosophy. The goal of the computer scientists is to combine the knowledge from all these fields to create an AI.
Science fiction has shown machines capable of thinking and acting for themselves, but what was once fiction is now becoming the topic for serious debates for researchers and writers. One day we will give life to a new race of intelligent beings that are artificially powered. As time progresses, machines will reach a level of intelligence that will challenge, or even surpass our own, and I don't think we can do anything to change that that is going to happen.
Major movies such as the matrix and terminator were produced that were based on robotic take over. Both movies have similar plots, each about machines becoming so advanced that humanity must fight them or become extinct. While the matrix was created as a form of entertainment, I don't think many people know how close to a prophecy it is.
What the scientists say their ultimate goal is of researching into Artificial Intelligence is to create a robot machine with the abilities as similar to a human as possible. This may be true in a limited number of cases, but the objective for most AI developers is to take advantage of the ways.

robots could outperform humans rather than have them be exactly like them.
Pretend that the computer scientists succeed in making machines that can do all things better than human beings can do them. In that case, all work will be done by the newly created artificial race and no human effort will be needed.
