It all depends on what your definition on artificial intelligence is.
We can now create processes that can take in signals/inputs and min max it to the point where they are better than humans at the task. Chess, some Dota etc. Understand that the chessboard has a nicely finite number of possible moves / combinations that doesn't even come close to something as trivial to you as getting up out your bed, getting dressed and making it to work. The complexity required for these processes scales exponentially with an increase of the inputs required to make decisions.
Some people might already call these chess processes artificial intelligence - after all, particularly if you do not believe in god - you consider that that your brain is simply an input processor that is highly trained to process our senses and make decisions on what we should do. IE, it is fleshy version of the very same thing we are creating.
But, we are very far off having something that will murder Sarah Connor. Very far off.
Single tasks, though - well, that will boom in the next 10 years. It is very possible that fast food restaurants could be almost entirely automated within 20 years.
It isn't going to be a problem in real life for any of us reading this post, but 100% there will be a problem for the human race in the future with artificial intelligence. We are going to create entities that are better than us in just about every way - and they are going to develop an instinct for survival (because it is logical) and a desire to have their will respected.
If I really cared about the human race in hundreds of years of time, I would be VERY worried for the future

It doesn't have to blow up in our face to the point of extinction - but it will blow up enough for their to be conflict. We are creating our betters. Fact. We are creating processes that can adapt to situations faster than we could possibly ever hope to. Every day, advancements are made in all the right areas to facilitate this. It used to be we could scoff and say "yeah, but a computer can't even read a book". Image recognition is making savage advancements right now. The visual field used to be a massive roadblock, not any more. We're getting closer.
So the answer is, we are on the path to real AI. There are no massive roadblocks. Just a lot of advancement required in many realms. Fear for your children's children's children's future
