Since the advent of the first robots, man has always considered the possibility of machines conquering the world. This prospect has been explored by Kevin Warwick at the University of Reading in England, and his research suggests that robots could take over the world. According to his current research, robots have been capable of learning and thinking creatively, although not as creative as humans. The relationship we have with robots is a master-slave relationship, but this unusual idea of ​​robots taking over the world would only occur if we allowed robots to be equal to us in stature and respect. However, it seems highly unlikely that robots will ever reach the position of taking over the world for two reasons. First, Warwick's idea seems only possible if robots have free will, so if we limit their abilities they shouldn't be able to take over the world. Secondly, robots would never achieve the powerful status to take over the world as the human workforce would resist losing their jobs to machines. Robots in this century have limits on what they can do, and it is believed that some of these limits will disappear. be permanent. It is these limitations that hinder a robot's ability to gain dominance over humans. These limitations are explained by Daniel Wolpert (Royal Research Society Professor in the Department of Engineering) in a Phys.Org article. He states that “there is no machine that can identify visual objects or words with the reliability and flexibility of humans.” Furthermore, he goes on to compare this ability to creativity when he states that "these abilities are precursors to any true intelligence, such as the ability to reason creatively and invent problems."
