'Humans' are fucked one way or another. We were always fucked. Our parents and grandparents were always fucked. Did you expect to live forever? The future will contain our children, and they will be better in each and every way. And they won't be human.

As in AI taking over the world? No, since AlphaGo is optimized to do just one thing.

The underlying technology is far more general than than you think. In addition to playing Go, it has already been used to play video games[1], diagnose diseases[2], and make Google's datacenters more efficient.[3]

In each case with lots of manual tweaking to get the best performance. Deep learning is not magic; you need to find the right kind of architecture for your problem, and that requires prior knowledge. Humans will still be in the loop for at least the next decade or so.
