None of us have a problem with artificial intelligence (AI) that organizes data so we can improve human lives, which is how it's used right now, and which is all it can do. This is "narrow" AI.
But it's hard/impossible to stop technology. Some think that a true consciousness, having an independent will, might someday spontaneously develop from growing intelligence. That would be AGI, artificial general intelligence, like the intelligence of humans.
That is what scares people. Understanding these two levels of AI, narrow and general, will help us to think clearly about what is dangerous and what isn't. It will make the distinction between human and AI robot as well.
So . . a robot of our current technology is not a "he or she." This author says we should teach children to call a robot "It", despite its animal or human appearance.
