Obviously that's a silly request as all of this is speculation but in my opinion, if you accept the idea that a machine might evolve to be much more intelligent than us it follows trivially. How would ants or even monkeys be able to constrain humans? Humans do things that are downright magic to them, to the point where they don't even realize that it was done by humans. They don't understand that cities were made, to them they are just environment the same way valleys and forests are.
