In 2001: A Space Odyssey showed people eating meals while watching video on flat portable screens.

An amazing prediction.

The next bit of the movie features AI going berserk and killing everyone.

I remember that. An amazing prediction, agreed. And very well executed, by Kubrick's special effects crew.

As for AI going beserk and killing everyone, yes, I think that's true. Although the B-grade SF movie Gog has a similar scenario, although in that movie, the murderous robotic systems are being controlled by an alien spacecraft in orbit around Earth. Gog was made in 1954.
