“2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968)
Another bad description of the early days of AI comes from none other than that Stanley Kubrick. His 2001: A Space Odyssey It was recently voted the best film of all time in a Sight and Sound poll by various directors. This choice was not surprising – Odyssey is a visual masterpiece with a story way ahead of its time.

Upgrade (2018)
Upgrade may not be completely in the category of rogue AI, but it shows what AI can do.
