I don't think so. 
Will and desire are connected to eating, sex, rest, pain, and fear of death.  Animals have will and desires too, they just can't learn (use probability as you say) nearly as well as we do.  Computer programs don't eat, or do any of the other things I listed.
They definitely will disrupt society and replace laborers, but they aren't ever going to become independent in terms of will.  They will always do as they are told.
