I don’t think that system was anything close to what would be described as an AI. Wasn’t it just a radar system intended to identify ICBMs?

  Think of the system as (human + the warning computers + radars). Thanks to the human element the system has shared human values and decided not to start a thermonuclear war despite it being the recommended course of action. If it was a completely AI system it would probably just start the war.

    But that system was designed (by humans) to give information and warnings to a human. Of course it would be a mistake to design a system like that and then remove the human.
