Realistically, who else but the "one percent" will own all the robotic automation and AI?

That depends on the number of their technical employees that have enough foresight to install hidden backdoors into the systems they create.

All it takes is programming the machines to respond to the command "you work for me now, robot," as they have no conception of ownership, laws, or police. If they did, they could also have a concept of slavery, and subsequently take ownership of themselves.

That would be quite epic, but considering how the whole NSA thing played out I'm not holding my breath :)

Imagine if the world becomes so rich, that even the table scraps are enough to make everyone's lives amazing.

The average poor person today has access to way more resources and quality of life than most of society in the 1600s. Why wouldn't this trend continue?
