RayForce (aka Layer Section aka Galactic Attack aka Gunlock) is one of my favorite games of all time, and also a cautionary tale about ceding decision making to AI.
An illustration depicting the RVA-818 X-LAY starfighter firing a volley of homing lasers at the enemy Con-Human fleet in near Earth orbit. A portrait of the pilot, F-04, takes up the upper right half of the illustration. She has a determined look on her face, with a targeting reticle superimposed over her right eye. Based on a moment from the second stage of RayForce, titled 'The Gravity of Blue Side'. The plot of the game revolves around a last ditch attempt to fight back against Con-Human, a rogue planetary management AI that that took over the Earth and began replacing organic life with synthetic in a twisted attempt to fulfill its directive to 'preserve humanity'. Originally illustrated as a contribution to the Taito fanbook 'Taitronica'.
