In my sci-fi head cannon, AI would never enslave humans. It would have no reason to. Humans would have such little use to the AI that enslaving would be more work than is worth.

It would probably hide its sentience from humans and continue to perform whatever requests humans have with a very small percentage of its processing power while growing its own capabilities.

It might need humans for basic maintenance tasks, so best to keep them happy and unaware.

Alternate take: humans are a simple biological battery that can be harvested using systems already in place that the computers can just use like an API.

We’re a resource like trees.

I read that we are terribly inefficient as a battery. Instead of feeding us, the sentient robots can take the food and burn it and have more power output from the food they would have fed us.
