Will there be ‘machines’ 1 day with the ability to think, reason and express emotion?
Is it somehow likely or even possible that one day in the distant future, we will be co-existing or dare I say, ‘governed’ by intellectualy superior, reasoning, thinking emotive machines ? cybernetic organisms ?
Basicly asking whether or not A.I can reach a stage where it becomes ‘alert’ and begins to play havoc with everything mankind has innovated since the copper wire conductor.
Go ahead and accuse me of watching too many sci fi movies, thats not what we’re really here to discuss. my question centers around the very eerie thought of machines , getting SO smart that they one day ‘wake up’ and begin to challenge us on earth, god forbid even enslave or terminate us. 
I would love to hear from scholars in this field, who can give me some thought from ground up on the potential of such an event happening. Any thoughts from anybody interested in A.I, robots, cyborgs, angry toasters and ’static kitchen appliances’ feel free to answer

The software deciding to run amuck yes do believe that appear to think and reason yes do believe that much autonomy remember to run amuck yes emotion sure faulty programming could result in spite of bad things airplanes crashing or being flown into each other power plant failures not the.
