Could robots take over the world and enslave the human race in the future?

First was the age of dinosaurs, then cavemen, then humans, at this rate in ongoing cycle will robots be the ones that come after us and we'll be enslaved and/or extinct?.

    Anything is possible but it is unlikely. That is because robots cannot keep themselves energized with food. They need a source of power and they need to either be plugged in (which limits their mobility) or they need to have their batteries or fuel cells recharged. They are sitting ducks when they run out of power.

    No doubt. Once the exclusive domain of science fiction, concerns about superintelligence started to become mainstream in the 2010s, and were popularized by public figures such as Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk. Existential risk from artificial general intelligence is the hypothesis that substantial progress in artificial general intelligence (AGI) could someday result in human extinction or some other unrecoverable global catastrophe. It is argued that the human species currently dominates other species because the human brain has some distinctive capabilities that other animals lack. If AI surpasses humanity in general intelligence and becomes "superintelligent", then it could become difficult or impossible for humans to control. Just as the fate of the mountain gorilla depends on human goodwill, so might the fate of humanity depend on the actions of a future machine superintelligence.

    Lol, no. What will the robots gain in doing that? They are robots, they have on will or wish to do such a thing, unless we are stupid enough to program them to do that.

    And, so what if that happens. Do you believe animals that got evolved out of the natural process worried about it?
