Far more important is who will trigger the first robot rampage.
Contrary to what tech philosophers have been spouting from their ivory towers, there will be no positronic brain, nor will the 3 laws help one iota once a robot has been hacked.
All it takes is one deranged soul with a little know-how and a desire to see the world burn. Tweak the AI a bit, and now you have a robot that looks for signs of breathing, and then beats, shoots, stabs, and smothers until it stops breathing. Recharge, repeat.

My view of humanity is pretty abysmal and yet, out of seven billion people, nobody has created a really nasty disease, or blown up millions of people, or something. [By nobody I mean, of course, "nobody except for governments". Which maybe explains where these people migrate to.]
