It wouldn't be enough to "eliminate most humans": any AI seeking to dominate would have to provide it's own infrastructure and continuation mechanism independent of humanity. OTOH if the goal were to eradicate humans (for whatever reason), that might prove an easier target. But I'd bet on biology and the humans: after all we're a time-tested technology!8-))

Many humans are currently working on precisely that, no? (Robotics, automation, small modular reactors, ...) > OTOH if the goal was to eradicate humans (for whatever reason), that might prove an easier target. It's not necessary that the AI's goal is to eradicate humans. Rather that it has (other) goals that happen to cause the eradication of humans. > I'd bet on biology and the humans: after all we're a time-tested technology!8-)) Indeed. And biological life will go on long after humans are gone. However, increased energy consumption might increase the temperature on earth to a point where most biological life dies.
