Embodiment
Perhaps the very nature of us humans as mortal beings, that is, the embodiment itself, is what grants us better chance in surviving. Humans are capable of picking up data from the environment through a set of multi-sensory perception, making sense of it simultaneously, and react accordingly. It's true that AIs can excel us in many tasks, even seemingly complicated and creative ones, because complicated tasks are just a set of repetitive tasks, as long as you got the vast data (big data isn't always reliable, though? Should not be followed with blind faith just because it's data, or because of its magnitude), right algorithms (though with quantum computing and DNA based storage, this can go way more efficiently), and the right models. But even with today's technological advancements, AIs are programmed with finely tuned symbols, and their algorithms collapse when confronted with arbitrary and ambiguous stimuli from real-life environment. Not to say that AIs can't do that in the (maybe not so distant) future, but at this point, what lacks in machine learning is, one of many things, maybe, the embodiment. If only we can make them extend their thinking capability into every inch of their bodies/shells and make them process and think throughout their bodies. But for now, we humans are more flexible with our choices, (though dumb it may be sometimes) and more resilient to our environment. So for now, take care of your mortal self.
