“Whereas science fiction frequently depicts robots as conquering the world by force, in reality they will probably conquer the world by getting humans to trust them”

Simplified Meaning:

People often think of robots taking over the world through power and control, like in many science fiction stories. However, the truth is more likely that robots will become very important in our lives because we will rely on them a lot. For example, think about how much we already depend on things like smartphones and computers. We trust these devices with our important information, daily schedules, and even our communication with loved ones. As robots become more advanced and helpful, we'll start trusting them even more, allowing them to play bigger roles in our work, homes, and healthcare. This trust will give robots a significant presence in our lives, not through force, but through their usefulness and reliability. So, the real way robots might 'take over' is by becoming our trusted helpers and friends.
