This is one of the most debated questions in technology, philosophy, and policy. Here's a balanced look:

**Reasons some think it could happen:**
- If AGI far surpasses human intelligence, it may become difficult to control
- Economic and military incentives could concentrate power in AI systems
- Humans might gradually cede decision-making to more capable systems

**Reasons some think it won't:**
- "Rule" assumes agency and desire for power, which aren't inevitable features of intelligence
- Societies may implement governance, regulations, or technical safeguards
- AGI may never arrive, or may arrive in forms quite different from what we imagine
- Power structures involve much more than raw intelligence

**Honest uncertainties:**
- We don't know when or if AGI will be developed
- We don't know what motivations (if any) it would have
- "Rule" is ambiguous—direct control, subtle influence, and tool-of-those-in-power are very different scenarios
- 2100 is far enough away that confident predictions are dubious

**My take:** The question doesn't have a knowable answer right now. It depends on technical developments, choices societies make, and conceptual questions about agency we haven't resolved. I'd be skeptical of anyone expressing high confidence in either direction.
