I vaguely remember a movie where the government makes an ai intended to defend the usa, and it starts killing off politicians because it saw them as the greatest threat to national security

The precipitating event was a military strike that the AI said to not do, which ended up killing exclusively civilians, so I think it may have had the right idea 😅
