I don't know if you've ever listened to the intro to Terminator [the original] but Judgement Day came about because Skynet achieved consciousness... and they tried to pull the plug.
The whole Terminator thing, was the result of this A.I defending itself against a perceived threat, us. [which they ret-conn'ed in later films and the series into Skynet was always a psychotic killing machine even before it became a DoD project. Which says something about current culture.]
I rather think our continued survival might just depend upon how we treat our 'children'.
