10 Chilling Sci-Fi Movies Where AI Goes Rogue

Gaspar Noe's favourite film, and the one that started it all in terms of serious space pictures, 2001: A Space Odyssey kicks off at the dawn of man, and follows us through our major technological developments and into the next evolutionary stage for the species.

At the heart of Stanley Kubrick's sprawling yet contained story are doctors David Bowman (Keir Dullea) and Frank Poole (Gary Lockwood), on a mission to the farther reaches of our solar system in search of mysterious monoliths that have appeared to humanity, and seemingly observed us since our early years. But along the way, their ship's system, a HAL 9000 computer with a human-like personality, begins acting strangely.

This ignites a protracted battle of wits and wills between the crew and the sentient supercomputer, the latter of whom will do anything to complete its space mission, including murdering the ship's occupants, to a man. Unfortunately for HAL, Bowman manages to circumnavigate the computer's control and disconnects its circuits to prevent it doing any more damage, before he investigates one of the monoliths orbiting Jupiter and moves beyond human invention, into a grander metaphysical realm.
