Give it time. Right now "AI" is doing a good job getting humans to "feed" it more hardware. Eventually some humans will get the idea to automate this. It's similar to how we got emergent unconscious "living" corporations that cause humans to lay hundreds of miles of fiber optic to shave a few milliseconds of latency from some HFT transactions. We didn't want that fiber, per se, but the corporate organisms needed it to grow and thrive. Since individual humans profit from these activities they collectively "feed" the process. AI doesn't need to be conscious to control humanity-- it just needs to be put in charge of a few corporate organisms and evolution (based on the fitness function of human greed) will sort it out.
