Skynet or WOPR?

Wired reports Israel Eyes Thinking Machines to Fight 'Doomsday' Missile Strikes. "Israel has been hit in recent years by thousands and thousands of rockets, mortar shells, and missiles.  And that could be just a preview of the onslaught Iran may one day unleash. So Israeli military leaders have begun early planning for a new, robotic defense system, armed with enough artificial intelligence that it 'could take over completely' from flesh-and-blood operators.   'It will be designed for... autonomous operations'." This can't be good.
