Not really.
One of the reasons AI is getting so much publicity is because of the hardware it needs, so people need to buy new devices to be able to use all the next AI useless thing, while big companies will use huge data centres to store the data they want their own AI models to work with.
If any company wants their one AI system they need to train it on the kind of data they need, so they need specific solutions for their specific problems.
More general problems need much more data, so it's not surprising that all the big companies are jumping on that wagon, but they need huge power supplies to power all those huge data centres.

And what happens when we realize we don't like some of the decisions being made by AI (Skynet)? How can we as a race of beings be so blind as to not realize that it's only a matter of time before AI realizes that mankind is the real problem (just like Skynet did in the fictional Terminator franchise)?
One thing is AI making decision, another thing is someone implementing those decisions.
As long as we do not allow AI access to the physical world I suppose we are OK.
I said "suppose" because there will always be some idiots that will follow AI's decisions without thinking, and the size of the damage they make depends on how high in the decision chain those idiots are.
