Depends on what you mean by living beings...

Artificial Intelligence as a definition applies strictly artificially produced forms of intelligence, i.e. computers, robots, etc. For instance, the person who first coined the term 'Artificial Intelligence", John McCarthy, defined it to mean "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines" (Wikipedia "Artificial Intelligence").

I suppose the philosophical question is: what are machines? Are they necessarily those hand-crafted pieces of metal and plastic? Or could a machine be more complex - a living creature that has never been able to process intelligent thoughts before (ex. an animal, to the best of our current knowledge) but is somehow given the capability through 'artificial intelligence engineering' to process thoughts?

And how do we define intelligence? Is intelligence ultimately a natural ability to survive despite the odds? (Many animals are able to do this via body adaptations in extreme environments, without having an apparent "intelligence").

Food for thought!

Will humans and robots ever be able to peacefully co-exist?

They already do. As robots are not sentient beings, the possibility for a human-robot conflict does not exist as the conflict would be one-sided. Robots are the creations of humans and can only do what they are programmed to, even those with "artificial intelligence". Because of this, robots are not even living beings and therefore do not have an existence of which to coexist with other beings.
