The Anime Yukikaze (2002 - 2005) has some similar themes. It's about a fighter jet pilot using a new AI-supported jet to fight against aliens. It asserts that the combination of human intuition and artificial intelligence trumps either of the two on its own. If I remember correctly, the jet can pilot on its own, but when it becomes dangerous, the human pilot only uses the AI hints instead of letting it autopilot.
I wish Kambayashi was just more widely known. Or Japanese Sci-Fis and LNs in general. There have been couple legitimate "oh that's now reality" moments for me in real world developments of AI.
Yukikaze is a very interesting novel - still have to sit down and read the novels instead of watching the anime, but an important plot element is both the interactions between humans and their AIs (which are not just "human in a computer" as usual) but also a different take on popular views of which way an AI will decide in a conflict :)
