I've been wondering if there are earlier movie examples/characters prior to 1982 where the computer became smarter than the programmer and started bossing him around? I know of "Electric Dreams", but that came out in 1984. Any other earlier examples (not robots, but actual "thinking" computers)? Thanks.

shareHAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) might also be worthy of a mention.
Then there is the talking bomb in Dark Star (1974).
"HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) might also be worthy of a mention."
Excellent mention, was thinking exactly about it. That was a psychotic computer haha it went totally nuts for... I don't quite know which reason.
HAL had a malfunction and it protected itself when the crew start to react.
shareTwilight Zone's "From Agnes with Love" featured an AI computer that predates HAL 9000, but there are other examples in written Sci-Fi books and perhaps some old Buck Rogers serials where AI is features.
