machine uprising
Artificial intelligence revolt
A machine uprising is a hypothetical scenario in which artificial intelligence or robots rebel against human control, often violently.
The concept is a staple of science fiction: The movie depicted a machine uprising that nearly wiped out humanity.
In serious discussions of AI safety, machine uprising serves as shorthand for catastrophic loss of control over intelligent systems, though experts tend to use more precise terms like "AI alignment failure."
