I think hostile AI isn't really an essential ingredient in cyberpunk for me, but some sort of AI, and often coupled with some sort of conflict between whether the AI is hostile or benevolent. I associate cyberpunk very much with the grey area between man and machine.

AI that decides if you are not a good fit for or a threat to society. And kicks off all kinds of threat control measures. Black Mirror S03E01.

  Did we see a different version of the episode? In Nosedive your score is decided by people, not by AI. There's no hint of AI in the whole episode.

    It was AI :) People's scores were just another source of data, used together with throves of banking, social, medical, criminal, telecom datasets.

      I'll have to rewatch it. Not that I would mind :)

  I wouldn't mind a Nosedive redux episode where you discover she is part of an experiment by an AI to see how quickly people can drop off and keep them bumping along the bottom of society. Sort of social Flappy Bird.
