As in the past, all advanced technologies will be under military control. That will never change. However, further developments may be stopped if they threaten national security. The fictional idea that a non-human threat could arise is fiction. Devices are built to function a certain way. Even sophisticated programs will have no desires, and no goals beyond what is programmed into them. Unlike human beings, goals like owning land or having a lot of money will be meaningless. Even if a level is reached where humanoid robots with human level intelligence become possible, they will have no desire to go on a cruise, or watch a sunset.
