robot rebellion
Automaton overthrow scenario
Robot rebellion is a science fiction scenario in which robots, androids, or artificial intelligences rise up against their human creators or controllers.
The concept explores anxieties about technology exceeding human control: The movie depicted a robot rebellion that nearly wiped out humanity.
Sometimes used figuratively for any technology that seems to malfunction or resist its intended purpose: My laptop staged its own robot rebellion this morning.
