Star Wars of all things provides a interesting vision here. Did you ever notice that for the most part the machines/robots are not networked? That AI seems to exist but is intentionally kept dumb (C3PO).

I think this is a interesting model. To as society come to the conclusion that more connection of devices, smarter AI is not the right solution. That what works best is the right amount of connection and AI

Except that they helpfully leave unsecured network ports all over literally every ship and building so that R2 units can plug in and do whatever they want. We can ignore that part for a “right amount of connection” example.
