I largely agree with Linch’s answer (primarily: that AI is really likely very dangerous), and want to point out a couple of relevant resources in case a reader is less familiar with some foundations for these claims:
The 80,000 Hours problem profile for AI is pretty good, and has lots of other useful links
This post is also really helpful, I think: Without specific countermeasures, the easiest path to transformative AI likely leads to AI takeover
More broadly, you can explore a lot of discussion on the AI risk topic page in the EA Forum Wiki
