Question and Mark Scheme:

30. Giant robots are going to take over the world!!! (probably) [2]


Answer: False. Giant robots take a lot of resources, it's pretty unlikely anyone would
take over the world that way. Also, there's no evidence to date that robots are that
talented, and currently they have no legal status as moral agents so they can not own
anything. But I'll give points to any good argument about why this might be a danger
too.
