Indeed. HAL in 2001 is the archetype for all malevolent AIs (although they rehabilitated him in 2010 and blamed evil imperialist programmers for his misconduct). But, the M5 computer in that star trek episode is pretty good sci-fi melodrama.

See the original star trek episode, "ultimate computer", about an AI placed in control of the Enterprise as a test run, which ends up shooting up other star fleet ships until Captain Kirk outwits the super computer.

I will have a look. Also there is 2001: A Space Odyssey and HAL (aka IBM)
