Do you think AI is possible, and If so, will it be friendly to us (allow us to live) or not

Hmm...I think AI will make us redundant, and we'll go away in time, but I don't think that makes it a foe. Not entirely sure how to answer.

I assume this poll is referring to strong AI. Maybe we'll be phased out before strong AI comes to pass, but if consciousness(?) is a thing the way we like to value it as a thing, they'll eventually develop it, either by becoming strong AI or recreating some meaty beings--or just going to find the other meaty beings that almost surely exists elsewhere in the universe.
