'Cyborgs vs holdout humans' - scientist's chilling prediction for our future

The human race will have a fight on its hands as the last surviving people have to hide from advanced robots in a world taken over by nature, a scientist has predicted.

Dr Sandberg, from the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford, said that most species go extinct around that mark, and when we get there, in another 700,000 years, robots will have taken over the world. And the last remaining people will be in hiding - just like the plot of Terminator.
