	The Robot Hall of Fame : HAL 9000
		The HAL 9000 Computer is a non-human and central character in the film by Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke - 2001: A Space Odyssey.
		HAL is capable of speech recognition, natural language understanding, lip reading, and thinking well enough to beat humans at chess.
		HAL's central core is depicted as a room full of brightly lit computer modules mounted in arrays from which they can be inserted or removed.

		HAL is characterized as the single mission element with the greatest responsibility, the ``brain and central nervous system'' of a spacecraft targeted for Jupiter.
		HAL's actuators are also extremely limited; examples include the opening and closing of doors, and the raising and lowering of beds.
		HAL's major responsibility is to look after the health of the spacecraft and crew, including monitoring the spacecraft's health, performing fault diagnosis and repair, operating the life support systems, and continuously monitoring the medical status of crew members in hibernation.

	HAL, you, IBM, to, for, do HAL 9000
		HAL macht sich auf einer Reise zum Planeten Jupiter mehr und mehr selbststÃ¤ndig und spielt mit der Besatzung ein bÃ¶ses Spiel, indem er den Menschen philosophisch auseinandersetzt, dass sie diejenigen sind, die eigentlich Ã¼berflÃ¼ssig sein sollten.
		Eine andere Deutungsweise geht von den sich widersprechenden Befehlen in HALs Programmierung aus.
		Gesprochen wurde HAL in der Originalfassung von Douglas Rain, in der deutschen Synchronfassung von Peter Schiff.

	Feature
		Realizing that the humans' actions would jeopardize the mission, HAL does his best to defend himself against their treachery: he kills Poole during the next space walk, then traps Bowman outside the ship when he foolishly attempts a rescue.
		Likewise, Clarke and Kubrick tried to make the HAL 9000 as advanced as they thought a computer could possibly be in the year 2001, while still remaining plausible.
		It is HAL's ability to learn and his control of the ship's systems, rather than his ability to perform lightning-fast calculations, that make him such a formidable challenge for the humans when they try to disconnect him.

		Through his pre-launch programming, HAL has been also been entrusted with knowledge of the true purpose of the mission to Jupiter (which the human crew thinks is merely to explore the Jupiter system, but is actually to follow the "burglar alarm" signal from the monolith on the moon).
		HAL is already coming close to lying here, since his withholding the true purpose of the mission could be considered distorting information.
		Not only was HAL programmed to emulate human emotions, but the astronauts were no doubt selected for their ability to carry out months of tedious duty with machine-like reliability; they were chosen for this mission because they were especially boring people.

		HAL watches their lips through the window and realizes that the two humans may attempt to disconnect his brain.
		From the moment HAL utters his first words, it is clear to the moviegoer that the 9000 series is a superior architecture: HAL's voice is decidedly nonmechanical.

		HAL's voice was given an eerily detached quality, achieved in part by having actor Douglas Rain record the lines without the benefit of other actors or other parts of the script.
		HAL is still what we might call a "thing," distinguished from the world that we classify as living or organic.
		HAL at first sounds repentant, admitting poor judgment and promising that its work "will be better." "He" then moves to self-assuredness, asserting "the greatest confidence and enthusiasm" for the mission.

	The Kubrick Site: The Case For HAL's Sanity
		Of course, HAL might not have attempted a deliberate mistake, as it posed a grave risk of being caught, but perhaps he chose to do this because the moves in the game were not being recorded, except possibly by himself.
		If we assuming that HAL has determined to rid himself of the human crew by this point in the film, it is logical that he, being a creature of information, would want to extract from his victims all the information he can before killing them.
		HAL also tells Dave something else of importance: "I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me. And I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen." As we know, Dave and Frank were planning to do this only if the AE-35 continued to function properly.
