My running of Damocles (from Morrow Project) pulled a few bits from the sentient AI one.
Of all the scenarios in Twilight Nightmares, the best one, IMHO, was "Warlord." The others were a bit too informed by particular movies, as Kato13 mentioned above. I really liked the robot tanks in Warlord. They were particularly menacing. I especially liked the self-aware installation enslaving humans to perform the functions it can't perform for itself and creating a elite of "trustees" to supervice the other humans.

I think there might have enven been an option for the Warlord to turn out to be an update of the Wizard of Oz in so far as there is no self-aware A.I., just a guy down in the heart of the installation pretending to be the big scary sentient computer.
