Thinking about the new AI that has been rolled out, it reminded me of Shalmaneser (enormous supercomputer) in John Brunner's work "Stand on Zanzibar", which is a fantastic novel. (www.goodreads.com)

Predicted a lot of things back in 1968 about the world of "today" (present-day in the book is 2010). A lot of events in the book are things the WEF/etc are working on.
