terminator AI is an absurd scenario on par with THEM & the like. More likely is smarthome systems, self driving networks, & general assistance AI breaking down in catastrophic waysThe Terminator - another intelligent machine that must be destroyed - is a "maximized" male - bigger than human, stronger than human, never gets tired (people need sleep), can take damage/abuse that would kill a person.

A what now?I do know that I always change the GPS in my car to the British or Australian female voice. If I need to listen to something tell me what to do, it may as well be sexy sounding. Took a minute to know that a roundabout was a rotary.
Only in New England apparently.A what now?
Where are you from that a roundabout is called a rotary?
Huh! Wild!Only in New England apparently.

I will also point out that if the primary AI in a work is one gender, the second prominent AI often switches the gender. I assume this is for the obvious reason of making the two AIs distinct.Not the T-X from Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
Not sure I know this one but sounds a bit like a gender-swapped "Demon Seed" (1977), which I suppose adds another to the "male-presenting AI goes rogue, has to be destroyed" category.Anyone remember the 1990’s movie where the AI of a Hi-Tec House develops a personality and the falls in love with its owner and then becomes jealous of his family?.

I always seem to be defending poor old HAL on this site. He wasn't malicious, he was just trying to carry out the mission in the face of conflicting instructions.HAL from 2001 a space odyssey was male AI that was malicious and needed to be destroyed, if a gender could be assigned that is, I might just be reading into the name more than anything. From memory the voice was fairly robotic. Just checked the date and the movie was 1968 so it might not count as recent.
I think the movie Tonguez is referring to is Smart House.
Really? Admittedly, it's been awhile since I sat through the whole movie. But I seem to remember a few pretty malicious things about him.I always seem to be defending poor old HAL on this site. He wasn't malicious, he was just trying to carry out the mission in the face of conflicting instructions.
Clearly he needed to be destroyed, but he was as much a victim as anyone else.
It's clarified in 2010. Government agents concerned with keeping the mission details secret get themselves access to HAL's high-level command structure and reprogram him inexpertly, inserting an irrevocable directive that he must not tell Discovery's flight crew about the true nature of the mission. But this conflicts with one of his other high-level functions - as a scientific instrument on an exploration vessel, HAL is programmed to always provide complete and accurate information. He literally cannot lie.Really? Admittedly, it's been awhile since I sat through the whole movie. But I seem to remember a few pretty malicious things about him.
He kills Frank preemptively (and attempts to kill Dave preemptively). Dave and Frank were talking about turning HAL off iff he proved to be malfunctioning. If they didn't find a fault, they wouldn't have turned him off. HAL could have, you know, proved he wasn't malfunctioning instead of casually offing a guy.
Also, IIRC, HAL didn't murder the crew in suspended animation out of necessity, he did it out of convenience. If he killed Dave and Frank outside the ship as he had planned, he could have just woken the remaining crew up and told them Dave and Frank had an accident. Or just never woken them up. There was no real need to kill them.
There's also no reason other than pure narcissism for HAL to think that the mission would fail without him. Even if Dave and Frank turned off HAL, they were still planning on continuing to Jupiter. HAL didn't have to kill them to ensure the mission would be completed, he chose to do it as his preferred option.
That's an awful lot of premeditated murder by someone/something who had a lot of other options. I'm comfortable classifying that as malicious.
