That's true today, but don't you think artificial intelligence will change that?

I don't know long term.

AI has made a lot of strides doing what it's good at and basically stagnated outside that realm (it's been forty years since the first seemingly intelligent system appeared and none of these systems has become good at dealing with an uncontrolled environment). AI hasn't gotten noticeably better at dealing with complex and confusing environments.
