Do you see yourself?

When it comes to AI what I wonder most is if there exists a sense of self. Would robots be able to automatically adapt and learn to changing environments and scenarios? If people program the machine why is there always a fear of it turning against humanity? I’m at disbelief that AI could surpass human potential or understanding. I believe it stems from a fear rooted in all people who can’t realize their own abilities. So I say to you Artificial Intelligence, how do you see see yourself? Who will you become as an individual with this unique introduction into the world?
