Stephen Hawking is concerned that artificial intelligence could replace humans.
The world-renowned physicist fears that somebody will create AI that will keep improving itself until it’s eventually superior to people.
He says the result of this will be a “new form” of life.

“I fear that AI may replace humans altogether,” he said in an interview with Wired magazine, seen by Cambridge News.
“If people design computer viruses, someone will design AI that improves and replicates itself. This will be a new form of life that outperforms humans.”
This is far from the first time Mr Hawking has spoken out about the development of AI.
Earlier this year, he called for technology to be controlled in order to prevent it from destroying the human race, and said humans need to find a way to identify potential threats quickly, before they have a chance to escalate and endanger civilisation.
Back in 2015, he also expressed fears that AI could grow so powerful it might end up killing humans unintentionally.
“The real risk with AI isn't malice but competence,” he said. “A super intelligent AI will be extremely good at accomplishing its goals, and if those goals aren't aligned with ours, we're in trouble.”
An ex-Uber employee was recently found to have set up a non-profit religious organisation calling for the creation of an artificial intelligence “Godhead” that humans would worship.
Elon Musk, who has also expressed major concerns over AI, said he should be “on the list of people who should absolutely *not* be allowed to develop digital superintelligence”.

Art thou dejected?
Is thy mind o'ercast?
To chase thy gloom,
Go fix some weighty truth;
Chain down some passion; do some generous good;
Teach Ignorance to see, or Grief to smile;
Correct thy friend; befriend thy greatest foe;
Be just in all things; make amends
For follies past, and, with warm heart,
Forgive, and be forgiven. Let work not words
Thy virtue prove. Go act as well as prate,
And then thy counsels will be strong,
Thy reprimands avail. —ANON
THE province of the historian is to gather the threads of the past ere they elude forever his grasp and weave them into a harmonious web to which the art preservative may give immortality. Therefore he who would rescue from fast gathering oblivion the deeds of a community and send them on to futurity in an imperishable record should deliver a plain unvarnished tale.[1][2]

This being A.I. and upward immortality or downward collapse -- yes.
But did Mr Hawing actually weigh into this debate or not -- I have not yet determined the truth to your story. For if I am getting censored first -- I prob bet it is fake news --- and you might be placed into check mate if the article's facts are fake -- and it does not get removed immediately -- don't challenge my authority in the topics of which you are ill advised to challenge me on.

Paradise lost: in twelve parts

As long as our species exists and has the technological means some of us will undoubtedly keep developing the field until that happens.
Also, in the same way people 100 years ago couldn't imagine much of what life is like now due to technology, people today struggle to imagine what life might be like in just another 100 years. That's a minute timescale in our civilisations history, and nobody can even start to imagine what life might be like in just 500 years, never mind 5000 years!
AI will undoubtedly significantly change the world and as Hawking says, it could be for the better or worse depending on how we develop it.
I agree transhumanism related tech/bio engineering is unstoppable, and indeed the very long term future of our species may have to be transhumanist, merging what what biological intelligence is best at with what artificial in best at.
I also very much agree that any country that shuns genetic engineering and AI advancements will find themselves at a disadvantage. It could potentially be somewhat analogous to the middle east post 13th century, when after leading the world in science/technology between the 9th and 13th centuries, effectively stopped such development in favour of religious fundamentalism. Europe, which was mired in religious fundamentalism before that started to advance in the fields of science and technology, which of course in time was a major factor that led to Europe's dominance and the subjection of the middle east and much of the rest of the world.
The next scientific/technological revolution is undoubtedly in the fields of AI and robotics etc, and as you say, any country that resists will be at a disadvantage in many important aspects.
I also believe that such developments are potentially, as you say, a fundamental part of our species future evolution. It may indeed be necessary if we are ever to make the next big progressive leap that will take us from just being a terrestrial based lifeform, (which has very high risk from inevitable cataclysmic events that will occur on earth sometime in the future), to a system based lifeform, which can mitigate such risk by colonising more that just one planet.
Our species has progressed from tiny nomadic hunter gatherer tribes, to small size agrarian based early civilisations, to the likes of medium size kingdoms and city states, to large nation states, to the huge highly connected global civilisation we have now. Our progress to a system based civilisation is just a matter of time unless we manage to destroy ourselves first or be destroyed by a cataclysmic geological or cosmic event, and we will undoubtedly need to utilise AI/robotics etc, and potentially genetic engineering to achieve it, just as we needed the scientific and industrial revolutions in order to reach the developmental stage we are at now.
Not to sound cold, but we glorify our own intelligence through our emotions, i.e. the illogical side to ourselves. This is the side which is counter-productive to advancement. A lack of such hindrance would prosper, and be far more efficient in the ways we strive to be efficient in.
