Sorry, I never read Asimov's robot series,I only saw the movie with Will Smith. So I don't know if I got the gist of the "ghost in the machine" right. As far as I could tell it was a series of mysterious anomalies in robot behavior that suggested there might, on occasion, be something like vague consciousness within the processors.

It’s an older and more generic reference. Widely used.
