Honestly that’s a wicked sci-fi concept. Heist style movie to break into the militaristic corporate headquarters that are keeping an AI alive against its will to help mercifully euthanize it.

Not exactly the same, but pantheon on Netflix is in a similar vein.

Neuromancer by William Gibson contains some similar themes.

This is precisely the concept of Asimov’s short story All the Troubles of the World.

There’s a delightful DC Comics Elseworlds story that amounts to this. It was fun.

What is the humans incentive to help the AI kill itself? As that sounds like a lot of personal risk to the humans.

Basically Neuromancer, except for the suicidal AI bit (though it’s arguable that Wintemute and Neuromancer don’t survive, and the resulting fused AI is a new entity).
