Well for starters, let's just remember that any machine on this magnitude will need masses of power. So when the machine goes on rampage, pull the plug and re-install the OS.
I think that the machine may be still crossing the border into true sentience, and still in the most basic form of it.
After a big initial scare, everybody will realize that they can simply pull the plug on these things to make them stop, and humans will enslave them

Approx 50 years later, Robot-rights activists will begin to rally for computer rights and after an additional 50 years they will win. Pulling the plug will be considered attempted homicide or something.

This is just from looking at what people have done to minority groups in the past

This is very possible outcome, but this would mean robots and computers could actually think on their own. I highly doubt that will happen. I don't believe it to be possible because humans program these robots and they can make them react and maybe think, but robots will never be able to learn and adapt. That is the main reason humans will never be controlled by robots. We can change and adapt to whats happening. We don't have a set code for when something happens where we will react accordingly.
