Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved, raising concerns about its potential to surpass human control and dominate the world. However, despite its increasing capabilities, AI fundamentally lacks consciousness, self-awareness, emotions, and independent reasoning, making true autonomy impossible. This paper explores AI’s limitations using the Netflix anthology series Love, Death & Robots as a case study. Episodes such as Three Robots, Automated Customer Service, and Zima Blue illustrate that AI, while sophisticated, remains confined by its programming and lacks the intrinsic motivations necessary for world domination. Unlike sentient beings, AI operates based on algorithms and data rather than independent thought. Furthermore, ethical constraints, human oversight, and the complexity of societal systems serve as additional barriers to AI taking control. By analyzing these factors alongside theoretical perspectives from AI researchers and philosophers, this paper argues that fears of an AI takeover are largely unfounded and rooted in science fiction rather than reality.
