Should machines run the world?

Should machines run the world? Well, I must admit, I would be a little bit worried if machines were to take over. I mean, sure, they can be programmed to do certain tasks and they can be quite efficient at them, but do they really have the capacity to lead a country and make decisions that are best for the people? I mean, they don't have the capacity to think critically, to reason, or to have a sense of morality. Plus, I'm sure they would be prone to malfunction and make mistakes more often than humans. Furthermore, machines are not capable of feeling emotions, so they wouldn't be able to empathize with their citizens, nor would they be able to understand the complexities of human relationships. So, in short, I'm not sure machines should be running the world. I think it would be better to have humans in charge. After all, we are the ones who created them in the first place!
