When we consider the idea of robots taking over the world, I don't think many of us are considering their emotions to be the reason. When you look at the countless examples of AI in movies, anytime it involves robots taking over (Skynet) or even if it's just an issue with robots becoming too powerful, it's usually just because their logic sees humanity as a threat to the world and their goal is to eliminate this threat. If they defend themselves from human attack, again it's not because they are worried, afraid, or angry with us; it's simply because it's the logical thing to do. Could robots be programmed with emotions? Maybe, but would that be the same as how we define emotions? Along these lines, would a robot eventually become so advanced it begins to program itself or have the ability to learn?

Just as humans didn't want to take over the world, you mean?

We're all going to be rubbing machines down with oil and polish at neighborhood JiffyLubes. Be careful to keep your mouths shut, though you might get a bigger tip if you swallow some oil.

I see what you're saying. However, with any emotion, just like anything else, it can be taken to an extreme. This seems like a silly example, but the first thing that came to mind were things like ultron. It had emotions (however robotic they were), but also had a supercomputer for a brain. It doesn't sound like the emotion would get in the way that much. At least to me
